Overall impression
Snow condition
Valley descent also possible off-piste. But you have to aim well.
Snow quality
Hard as nails on the piste and barely skiable because the artificial snow freezes solid. In the terrain, pretty much everything from damp and rotten to the abrasion of ice slabs. The north wind mills off the terrain and leaves dangerous mines in the steep hollows. Probably soft and dull but better not to ride on!
Risks
Here we have the open weak layer. It feels like crushed harsh snow, but it's coarse, lightly bearing cup sugar. If the next snowfall is not abundant and long, it will be very dangerous up to the open 2500. The current drift snow packs that are ready for release are clearly visible. Therefore just a warning of what may come.
Overall impression
Nice to be back here. The descents feel Argentinian. You try to whizz down on white ribbons between the green moraines. Then it's just as much fun. But the meat and red wine can't keep up.
