Overall impression
Snow condition
Since yesterday alone, 10-40 cm have fallen (depending on altitude and exposure). In the valley it was about 10 cm. Together with last week's snow, the amount of snow is quite good at the moment. That's why people can ski down into the valley.
Snow quality
Most of the snow fell without much wind influence. As a result, the snow at higher altitudes is very powdery and hardly bound. It lies on a hard, solid layer. Only the temperature rose above 0 degrees in the afternoon from around 1600m and therefore had a negative effect on the snow.
Risks
Here, attention must be paid to drift snow, loose snow slides from steeper terrain and warming. Overall, however, the situation is fine.
Overall impression
Apart from the icy temperatures and the limited visibility due to the clouds, today was one of my best days of skiing this winter thanks to the powder snow.
