Exposition
Snow condition
Absolute disaster. We were quite far back in the Glarus region. If you want to ski down to the valley, your ski tour should start at 1500m and be oriented firmly to the north. On the south side, the snow cover is closed from around 2000m.

Snow quality
Where the sun doesn't reach, it's really fine, about 30cm of powder. On the south side, we had something that would have been firn, but still needs a bit of time. Where the sun gets a little bit of it, it's just for shit.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
We saw more of the drift snow yesterday in northern Glarus than further inland today. The wet snow seemed more problematic to me. There was also a gliding snow mouth on the north side at about 2000m.
Overall impression
There is still a lot to be gained, but the tour was chosen wisely.
