Overall impression
Snow condition
Well below average despite the precipitation of the last few days. Locals speak of the least snowy winter in the Lötschental for 30 years. The ridges and crests have been blown clear. In the terrain near the slopes, you can still find stones from time to time. Troughs and gullies are well filled from the strong winds of the last few days.
Snow quality
The warmth made the fresh snow up to the Hockenhorn wetter and heavier. Below 2000m, the wet snow ensures that you can avoid hitting the bottom and that stones and tree stumps can be skied over carefree, but the poor visibility meant that detours further away from the piste were not feasible and so everything nice was quickly ploughed up.
Risks
Warning level 3: Settling noises could often be heard. I didn't see any real subsidence.
Overall impression
All in all, a pretty modest day. Let's hope that the temperatures drop again before the next snowfall.
