Piste instead of powder?

Overall impression
Snow condition
You get into the valley, I say. Sharks are an issue again, especially on the south side. Overall, however, the snow cover is always below average.
Snow quality
Off the beaten track, everything is blown to bits and only fun on the south side as soon as it softens. But the sun is really gnawing away at the snow cover. A few square meters of powder can only be found in more sheltered areas.
Risks
A smaller slab avalanche fell right next to the beacon test field. Whether it was blasted or spontaneous is unknown. But it looked like fresh drift snow
Overall impression
Unfortunately, it's been a while since the last snowfall. The pistes and moguls in les 2 Alpes are quite pleasant at the moment. Even if there is a lot going on due to the vacation season in France. It's best to switch to touring. There should finally be some snow on Friday
