Lots and lots and lots of fresh snow

Snow condition
It's getting better by the hour, until shortly after midday today we had around 60 cm of fresh snow. We are slowly but surely scratching 4 stars. In sheltered locations in the reservoir area, there is now a lot of skiable terrain. You should still watch out for terrain traps, especially when visibility is limited like today.
Snow quality
Lots of cold, fluffy fresh snow! Great to ski, but unfortunately our conservatively chosen play area below the tree line was almost too flat for the amount of snow.
Risks
Not entirely without. The wind was constantly gale-force and caused havoc even in the higher forest. Numerous drift snow packs at the tree line and in the lighter forest. In some places there was a very thin wind cover. Around noon, the precipitation fell as sleet. The possibilities are very limited and it won't get any more relaxed with further precipitation.
Overall impression
Defensive driving in the winter wonderland is also fun.
