Overall impression
Snow condition
Despite the fresh snow, you could tell that the last two weeks were very warm. South-facing slopes were particularly thin and we discovered a few stones. North-facing slopes were much better, although not great everywhere.
Snow quality
The wind was blowing a bit and the snow was between 15-70cm deep depending on the aspect. But on most slopes there was at least a good 30-40cm. The snow got heavier and heavier during the day, although we had very little sun. In the afternoon below 2,200m it was good spring pow, still good to ski but no longer blower.
Risks
Considering that there was a lot of fresh snow and some wind, we saw relatively few dangerous spots. However, one snow slab was about 70cm deep and about 2-30m wide. But it didn't run very far.
Overall impression
Where it was deep, it was very, very good. Unfortunately, the boards had to get to know hidden stones again and again.
