Snow condition

in the valley max. 20cm further up approx. 0.5m

Snow quality

Today, purely on the south side, already "bulging". Otherwise varying on a small scale, from wind-pressed to pow.

it could also be worse ...

Overall impression

It could be worse ... today we went from All'Acqua (Bedretto, 1600m) to the Helgenhorn. The snow on the south side is already slightly softened by the sun. This will probably result in a light melting snow cover tomorrow. From Ri. I, via Val Formazza, there was a lot going on. About 25 people in the area. Of the descent posted on 11.12. as very rewarding, only the descent remains. There is enough snow for the ascent. However, the wind has done a great job, the summit is free of snow and the forest step above All'Acqua is currently a challenge on the descent, even for very good skiers!
