Overall impression
Snow condition
Snow is wind affected on open faces and slabby in protected zones. Warm conditions over the weekend left a crust, but fresh snow on Monday has left powder in some places.
Snow quality
Snow from Monday is light density. One feels a crust at lower elevations or in wind affected areas.
Risks
After a high spike last week, the warm days and cold nights have helped things bond nicely. The official report says avalanche conditions are 'Moderate'. Some slabs exist on north aspects that are still unconsolidated and may move. For the most part, things are pretty stable, and will stabilize further with the sunny weather this week.
Overall impression
The sun is finally out in Valais and the snow is stabilizing. Some small pockets of instability exist, but so does lots of good skiing. Conditions should hold for the next few days while it stays cold. Enjoy it!
