Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions are pretty poor for the end of November. There is just under 30 cm in the summit areas and 15-20 cm below. Basically, this is the remains of the snowfall from 2 weeks ago. The snowfall forecast for the weekend was pretty poor (I'd estimate around 3-5 cm), but at least it temporarily hides the generally poor snow conditions.
Snow quality
Well, the little bit of snow from the weekend seems to have come with a lot of wind (picture), so that a rather unsightly cover has actually formed everywhere on the little bit of fresh snow from the weekend. At least it was cold enough so that you could at least ski quite satisfactorily on the future slopes. The snow cannons were running all day long...
Risks
There is simply not enough snow for avalanches. Nevertheless, the wind could have already caused snowdrifts.
Overall impression
Actually, the overall situation isn't exactly exhilarating, but due to the nice weather we've got the 2nd star. Hopefully the next few weeks will be a bit more productive in terms of snowfall!
