Exposition
Snow condition
Back to get some stones. But sharks were no longer a problem today. In the steep forest and on very rocky lines you need even more snow. So it could also be 3.5 stars but due to the extraordinary improvement of the past conditions I'm pretty optimistic.

Snow quality
Top powder snow. Only a little harder in the afternoon but pretty fine material in general. Descent through sparse forest. The layers of snow from Friday have settled. It's not bottomless deep like yesterday but perfect for skiing with good rebound and easy.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
4s in Flegere means that everything is run. Accordingly, the weak layers were probably not an issue here anyway, as there was constant tracking. I would be careful in the touring area. Everything below 35 degrees looked pretty stable here. Only one small mini-board was triggered by a group, but it was obviously there in the drift snow lee of a rocky section and very steep. Could be driven out. ( see photo)
Avalanche activity
Dry slab avalanche
Altitude: 2200 m
Snow slab triggered by skiers with lots of sluff
Overall impression
Top day in the Flégère ski area. Of course it was busy because of Sunday, but with good timing and only a few meters of exit you could get some nice runs all day. Nothing was super steep yet, but what more could you want than relaxed deep snow cruising above the sea of fog.
