Exposition
Snow condition
Variety of snow conditions: hardpack, wind blown and icy. On the downhill however, the snow was less packed and more powderish. There was a lot of wind slabs in the summit and the uphill face (northwest)

Snow quality
Mixed of snow quality due to the low temperatures (-25°C) and the strong winds. In the valley, there was less wind affected snow, thus providing some nice powder. On the uphill, one should be careful not to trigger wind slab avalanches.
Risks
Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)
Wind slab. It was not propagating a lot, but it had a considerable thickness (around 5cm) able to bury or injury a rider.
Overall impression
The downhill was very nice. However one should be careful when skinning up.
The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders!
