Snow quality

Nothing came of the promised fresh snow last night. Ascended on the south-east side. It was still hard at 2700 shortly after 11am. Up to about 2200 it was already quite soft at 10. On the west-facing descent there was pretty much everything again. Broken snow, easy to ski but already quite wet powder, hard frozen tops. Angular frozen avalanche cones. You're probably better off on the north side and even higher. I used the safe conditions to tick off a nice gully project.

Danger signs only on the southeast side, the usual sliding snow cracks this winter and the early soaking of the snow cover

Overall impression

Die Basis ist nach wie vor gut. Je nachdem, wie hoch die Schneefallgrenze morgen ist, kann es deutlich besser oder deutlich schlechter werden.
