Overall impression
Snow condition
At 1500 m there is just enough snow to get down with a stone slalom. Further up, the snow cover increases rapidly and from 2000 m there is still about 80 cm left. In hollows there is sometimes more due to the fresh drift snow.
Snow quality
Very damp at the bottom towards the afternoon and very irregular snow cover at the top, marked by the wind. A few turns are possible, but then mostly in steeper hollows filled with drift snow. Otherwise hard cover and windswept turns. Anything but ideal.
Risks
Not to be underestimated in steep alpine terrain. The wind has done a good job over the last few days and has picked up considerably today. There are some fresh drift snow packs, but they are easy to recognize. A small profile and sliding block test confirm this impression.
Overall impression
Beautiful day of touring in the Belledonne despite below-average snow conditions.
