Gressoney Monte Rosa

Overall impression
Snow condition
The fresh snow has settled well. Skiing down into the valley is still possible, even La Balma, from Punta Indren to Alagna, is still possible as far as the sports field. Bus transfer from there. Otherwise the snow conditions are very good. Free choice of route at any time, without stone contact.
Snow quality
It was very warm today. The zero degree limit was well above 2500m. There is still a wind cap at high altitudes which is very unpleasant to ride in. However, the sun and warmth soften this during the day and the conditions are quite good. There is still plenty of strong wind at higher altitudes. Some lifts have also closed this afternoon.
Risks
Still very tricky, as today's two avalanche accidents show. In Gressoney, however, some steep couloirs were also skied today without any major slides being observed. Level 3 here in the area since yesterday, which is fully OK. Not everything is possible yet,
Overall impression
Good snow conditions, good base, pretty good weather, little activity and the conditions are getting better every day.
