Comments

Soft snow on Norths and sun cooked everywhere else. There was a fresh covering of approximately 10-15cm from Sunday night that helped but come with strong winds from the SW. Anything below 1900m was pretty bad with heavy sun exposure slopes having mushy snow and a dense crust everywhere under the new snow.
