Overall impression
Snow condition
As usual - a few centimetres have fallen over the week. Otherwise, spring has arrived. On the south side, the possible downhill limit is ~1500m. On the north side around 1000m. You can tell that the base is simply missing this year and everything is snowing out very quickly.
Snow quality
We actually found every type of snow - often in a single turn Depending on the expo: settled powder, firn, crushed snow
Risks
As described in the situation report - favorable conditions with still decent snow conditions. On the south side or from W-S-O, note the diurnal cycle. Mighty fish mouths can be observed there.
Overall impression
Super sunny + spring ski tours = fitsIdeal touring conditions for steep and sunny firn cruising.
