Snow report Verbier, 12/31/2017

Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Very good in terms of volume, stumps and smaller rocks are covered up to 1400m. Above 2000m, the wind influence of the last few weeks is noticeable, as ridges and ridges are free.
Snow quality
The continuous rain yesterday conjured up hardpack up to 1700m overnight, above that there's a cap up to 2200m. Above that it could be fun, but there the wind has filled gullies and hollows. The wind came from the west.
Risks
There was wind during the snowfall. The slope in the Vallee de la Sionne in the SLF test area is visibly unloaded from the opposite side of the Rhone Valley due to a wet snow slide. Otherwise, there is considerable danger from the wind loads.
Overall impression
Tendency towards four stars, but in my opinion the altitude with cap-free powder poses a high risk. With the predicted amount of fresh snow in the next few days, the avalanche risk is likely to remain high.
