Snow condition

Sunny sides are only slightly sugared and exposed areas have been cleared. In the lee there is a skiable base with a fresh, cold 10 cm to 15 cm of snow from yesterday. You can only reach the valley via north-facing forest trails, and even on these you have to reckon with carrying sections (the footpath is still manageable).

Snow quality

Nice cold powder snow. Below 1300 m you could feel the hard surface.

Relaxed, sunny and windless day. No danger spots identified. In the shady, rather steeper terrain >1500 m, the snow cover has built up.

Overall impression

Nice day with the best weather. Unfortunately, it will now be over again for a while. Due to the rising temperatures during the course of the day, everywhere the sun went today will be covered in fluffy powder snow tomorrow. Without large amounts of fresh snow, the season won't last long.
