A tense 4th today. blasting all over the valley yesterday evening (probably also from the Rhone valley). it continues in the morning. Blasting that you can hear but can't see anywhere. we stay IN the ski area.
Overall impression
We're the first to set off and race down a powdery, untracked descent to Vercorin. It's dry exactly once, after that you can wring me out and the snow too. it's very pretty up in the forest, not light fluffy powder but ok. it's still no fun in the long run if it rains after 300 m downhill. restrictive behaviour is required today anyway, and nothing else is possible with the blasting sounding at regular intervals. outlook for the next few days: keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't soak everything at the top. otherwise, wait and see and drink tea.
