Very different conditions. At the very top up to 2700 m it was the best. Very good in places, but everything quickly became blocked and there were lots of avalanche cones. After that, the snow was heavily wind-packed up to Lauchernalp at 2000m. And below that it was completely crushed.

Big. And there are also many avalanche cones, some of which are very large. And not all of them were caused by blasting. We also triggered smaller boards. But our route choice was defensive

Overall impression

Top freeride spot. Unfortunately, the wind has severely damaged the snow cover
