Exposition
Snow condition
Well, as usual. You can completely forget about the south side. On the shady side, there's significant amounts of snow from about 1100m upwards. But even higher in the forest. Mountain pines are very free.
Snow quality
A total party of broken snow. Only soft at the bottom in the sun, but slowing down. Still very hard in the shade. Very demanding conditions.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
I was too low for the old snow problem. Very compact, hardened snow cover. A few small wet snow slides from the last few days were visible. The steep gully has gone down as expected.
Overall impression
Wow, real combatskiing today. Hoping for softer snow, I switched to an east-facing slope and was rewarded with bushwacking, equally tough broken snow and hard avalanche nodules... Actually, firn tours would be ideal now, but unfortunately there is hardly any snow on the more easily accessible south-facing slopes and everywhere else the lid doesn't open. 2 stars for the beautiful views, being outside and the fact that there is still snow at all.
