Overall impression
Snow condition
On Kleine Scheidegg it's only about 30-40cm, and very blown out. White Hare is very rocky and barely rideable. I was glad that I was able to unpack my Miniwing paraglider in the middle of the slope. On the Schilthorn, the upper part, where it's rocky, doesn't seem to have gotten enough snow either. The ridge side, on the other hand, was very well snowed in. 1m of fresh snow. The wind has also filled in the holes. Sensational descents right down to the valley floor. (e.g. Faulhorn to Schwendi!) Tour description in the Freeride Guide Jungfrau Region (www.freerideguide.ch)
Snow quality
Kleine Scheidegg blown out, but rideable. Ridge, a little blown out at the very top, otherwise very good to ski.
Risks
improves with each passing day. Pay attention to the accumulations of drift snow. But overall increasingly favorable conditions.
Overall impression
At the moment, First/Faulhorn is probably the best in the Jungfrau Region. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there will be any snow in the next 10 days, which will make the situation even worse. For piste skiers: The whole Jungfrau Region has top piste conditions from the summit to the valley. (but who cares about that...)
