Overall impression
Snow condition
Still really good from the pass onwards. The fresh snow of the last few days has formed enough base and built it up again. From about 2000m (you start at about 1700m) everything is very fine. At 2700m it looks like the height of winter. No stone contact on the descent!
Snow quality
Depending on the descent. My two companions skied one trough further on: Perfect powder. In my variant, there was always a lid on it from the start at 2700m. Everything was still skiable. From about 2500m the snow slowly became wet. From about 2200m it was concrete slurry. Too bad that you have to push a lot.
Risks
The wet fresh snow did start to slide 1-2 times and quickly takes on volume. It doesn't reach critical mass, but it's still painful. I'm more worried about the cornices on the ridge, I would stay away from them.
Overall impression
Great! Friday off and annoying my colleagues. And then in glorious weather!
