Overall impression
Snow condition
Masses of snow this winter, well above average.
Snow quality
On Friday it snowed just under 20cm, and on Saturday a good 20cm more fell directly. The best powder snow was encountered until Sunday. At midday on Sunday, the intense sunlight created a crust. The wind moved some of the snow intensively, which was easy to release. Today, Monday, powder snow was only to be found in areas protected from the wind and away from the sun, otherwise it was icy and no longer fun.
Risks
The fresh snow was very easy to dissolve on the hard crust and the risk of tearing should not be underestimated. The wind filled some gullies with drift snow, especially on Saturday.
Overall impression
We had a lot of fun on Friday and Saturday with fresh snow. On Sunday, despite the best weather, there wasn't much going on off-piste and we were able to find lots of lines just for ourselves. We ended today with a ski tour and a great descent in the backcountry.
