Overall impression
Snow condition
You can't ski down into the valley with any expo, but on the shady side it's fine up to about 1000m. On the sunny side there's nothing until really high up, the sugar will probably be gone again tomorrow, from about 900m the fresh snow starts, then a solid 10-15cm towards the top. In a nutshell: Where it wasn't possible before, it's still not possible now. Everything else is fine.
Snow quality
Quite okay. Relatively sticky at the bottom, then drier from around 1600m. The higher up you get, the more you can feel the hard snow cover. The lower layers are quite good again, because the snow cover underneath is soft, but there's less of it, thanks to wax, but it's not too slow.
Risks
No problems at all in the forest, but above that there was a lot of drifting and even today there was a strong westerly wind at the summit. I wouldn't go to the higher elevations, but there's not enough snow there anyway, and you could see small snow slabs triggered by ski tourers.
Overall impression
Not much going on, great photo light and reasonable snow, what more could you want at the moment...
