Overall impression
Snow condition
I would say average, but it was significantly more in the corner. It's also amazing how much more snow there is within 100m, from 20cm to over 1m at around 1100m. Cold island? ridges partly blown clear.
Snow quality
The upper 10-15cm were cold and fluffy. Below that, up to 2200m, you kept coming across the rock-hard layer. Nice to ride. When it gets steeper (>35°) the whole thing slides along as loose snow.
Risks
SLF issues a 2. No large drift snow packs seen. Loose snow slides off as described above, but no problem. Old snow is also an issue here. Some old, snow-covered avalanche cones seen.
Overall impression
Super nice tour towards Diepen. Two great descents in the best touring conditions. But this old snow issue is always buzzing around you...
