Avalanche warning level
low (1)
Exposition
Snow condition
Miserable. But at least you can still do something similar to skiing... You can even get down into the valley on icy forest roads. In general, low and rather flat open areas on the shady side are still the "snowiest".
Snow quality
Pretty crazy funky snow. Lots of bare ice on the forest roads (why isn't that available here yet?). Further up there is a lot of hard and rough harsch. The best part is the thin broken snow in the open, shaded meadows near the valley: there's a nice layer of large snow crystals on it - it was really good skiing! Unfortunately only a few meters...
Risks
Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)
There is zero avalanche danger at these altitudes, but the ice is not without its dangers. Otherwise, of course, the danger lurks underground.
Overall impression
Somehow funny, definitely pure combat skiing. At the very bottom, a few meters of reward through really nice snow. 2 * for being outside, good visibility and being able to do anything at all. :)
