Intermediate alarm?! Huge stau at the chains

Overall impression
Snow condition
50cm of fresh snow in the gullies drew me to the chain. Below the pits there was another 20-30cm, which caused the pines to sink even deeper into the snow. There is no need to talk about stone contact anymore. Many things are skiable that were not even skiable in the high winter of the last two years. Downhill skiing was still possible, but the rise in temperatures from tomorrow will probably change that.
Snow quality
Finest powder until the afternoon, thanks to the cloud bands in front of the chains. Down to the 3 pillar, you could partly get through to the harsch cover below.
Risks
I couldn't assess the drifting snow outside the ski routes as I wasn't in any danger and there was no view of it. However, you could already discover some small slippery snow slopes. Ultimately, however, it won't improve with the coming warm spell!
Overall impression
Once you've read the JapanCR, it's difficult to award 5*. There was also a lot going on and the visibility was sometimes poor.
