Unexpected cold smoke in Saas Fee

Snow condition
There's snow down to the village and beyond (up to 1300m) today. Unfortunately, the descent is still not skiable, but the snow cannons are working on it! Otherwise, you can find powder in all areas, especially on east-facing slopes.
Snow quality
We were surprised by 50cm of cold snow from 3500 to 2500m. Cold, powdery, flowing over our shoulders - cold smoke! Locals say that the snow from Monday night came directly from the high fog and has therefore seen little change between cloud and mountain.
Risks
The snow has fallen without the influence of wind. There have already been a few layers of snow on the glacier ice in the precipitation-rich November. Everything seems well compacted here. Steep skiing is still tricky. And the avalanche situation is also difficult to assess at times because we are in the cloud.
Overall impression
Even without visibility, this is definitely a burner! You can powder on the piste all day long. After all, there are only 80 people on the slopes and there's 40-50cm of snow.
First face shots of the year and complete euphoria after whiteroom ecstasy!
