Snow condition

The base is still poor, but that is now improving. The ridges and crests were blown off before the snowfall, but the hollows and gullies are filled with okayish snow. Fresh snow covers everything with a light NW wind.

Snow quality

Cold blower. Partially lightly wind-treated. Not at all or only slightly bound.

Hard base plus drift snow certainly not ideal, but not really problematic in the domed, less steep terrain. Sharks were the greater danger.

Overall impression

We used the calm before the big storm to check out the situation. Conclusion: few people when the lifts were almost fully operational, little visibility, less wind than expected. First faceshot of the season. Ass-cold snow on the knees makes you happy.
