Overall impression
Snow condition
Hasn't changed since muruaneq's report on Saturday. More than enough snow down to the valley (1600m)
Snow quality
A cauldron of color. The wind and sun were at work. Depending on the expo, slope inclination and altitude, it was everything from rock-hard, wind-pressed, heavy powder, light powder and slush. There was only nice powder on our tour in a steeper NE slope above approx. 1700m. You can certainly find more in wind-protected, shaded terrain.
Risks
The main danger certainly comes from drift snow, the fresh snow has to lie somewhere. I saw a small packet of drift snow behind an edge of the terrain (see photo), otherwise loose snow from steep, sunny terrain. Less fishmouths/sliding snow than I would have expected according to the bulletin.
Overall impression
A beautiful tour through a wintry landscape makes up for the very changeable snow quality.
