Comments

Sunny in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon. Still decent snow to be found up high. Travel down low is fast on hard crust. Steep, solar alpine slopes are difficult to cross - ski crampons recommended, we resorted to boot packing. Up as high as 2650m there was still temperature/sun crust on polar aspects but with 10-15cm of powder on top from the weekend storms. Down low in the afternoon, good skiing on the soft melt.
