Overall impression
Snow condition
At last there was something again, at least for the eyes. But there's not much snow yet. The S-slopes were green up to 1500 m. Above that, hard snow. The Grindel, Mettlen and Männlichen valley runs are open. The fresh snow overnight was very unevenly distributed. There was about 15cm on the First. It was particularly bumpy on the south side. It was much better on Männlichen and the Lauberhorn. But the Schilthorn got the most. (approx. 30cm).
Snow quality
The snow quality was very good. fluffy, powdery, not wind-pressed. Just not enough, you can feel the base in places, especially in the eastern Jungfrau region and on the S slopes.
Risks
In my opinion, the critical amount of fresh snow was not reached as there was little wind. However, small slabs of snow could be found in steep places. The conditions are basically favorable.
Overall impression
More is needed, no question. But at least it was a start.
