Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions are not necessarily outstanding, but in any case good, there was another 30cm of fresh snow, which will help to make ski tours interesting long after the end of the season in the ski area (today). 4 stars, but some places will quickly tap out, as they are now only covered by fresh snow again...
Snow quality
Difficult. The top 3cm of the already rather damp and compact fresh snow was the hardest. You did sink in there, but only 2cm, but with more pressure the whole thing gave way and you collapsed into the softer, powder-like snow underneath - kind of funny, but very demanding and exhausting to ski.
Risks
Not without. Over the course of the day, some wet snow slides have come down from the fresh snow (which quickly became wet), but there is still a lot to come. In addition, further snowfall is forecast, so I would assume that the danger will increase, and even slopes that have already been emptied are now loaded again.
Overall impression
Well. It's a shame that it got so warm yesterday evening, otherwise it would have been really great.
Somehow strange to ski, not without danger, plus a lot going on and only three lifts still open...
However, the old tracks are now nicely snowed over, in clear weather you will be able to find great firn conditions in the now closed ski area.
