First tour of the winter - Casa della neve

Overall impression
Snow condition
Already very good for mid-November. On a first thinner layer there is 1m + in the valley at 1500m from the last snowfalls. In the area of the tree line, my stick was too short at 1.25m to reach the lowest layer.
Snow quality
Very nice to ride. It had to be steep to be able to pick up any momentum at all, but then it was a single face shot... Slight deduction in the B grade, as the temperatures fluctuated a little and therefore formed a somewhat heavy layer.
Risks
Due to the temperature fluctuations mentioned above (warm to cold and then cold again), there was a very triggering layer of approx. 20 cm. Everything >30 degrees was very reactive in the area of the tree line. A lot of remote triggering.
Overall impression
What a first day of touring. Hammer snow and not much going on make you want more... Although it doesn't get much better than this.
Only the invention of adhesive skins spoiled the fun.
