Overall impression
Snow condition
Since Sunday, a good 20cm has fallen in the valley and around 40cm on the mountain on a good base. In the meantime, the snow conditions are good and you can ski without touching the ground. Wood and stones are still coming through further down.
Snow quality
Great, dry, fluffy powder! There was hardly any wind where we were and therefore great to ride. In the afternoon, in places where the sun was shining, it was a bit more settled and difficult, just short of the five stars!
Risks
The Bavarian LWD indicated level 4 (!) above 1500m. I can't really confirm this assessment - at least for the terrain and exposure we were in. Apart from a few loose snow slides, there was nothing to see, no signs of wind, settling noises or similar. However, we were only out and about in the more wind-protected terrain below the tree line; it can look very different elsewhere. Caution is still advised.
Overall impression
Brilliant day with good weather and fantastic powder. The whole thing in even better conditions then you get the five stars!
