Overall impression
Snow condition
Descents into the valley only possible with slopes. From 1500 meters ratio not lush but ok.
Snow quality
Everything is there. On the north side, you can believe it, you can still find settled (possibly untracked) powder after weeks. Well - but there was also hardpack - slab powder and some firn. Of course, the effort to find good powder is becoming more and more time-consuming.
Risks
Safe ! Slopes have eased. Larger and smaller avalanche maws that are easy to spot. Some avalanche cones had to be crossed. But compared to other years these are rather small.
Overall impression
On average 2 stars for snow quantity and snow quality. But those who make the effort to find nice slopes ....um will be rewarded with safe conditions and settled powder - 3 stars in addition to the sun
