Comments

About 15 cm of new snow fell on top of soft slab. Amazing weather Sunday morning wich changed to overcast in the afternoon, but still no wind. Snow began to feel heavy and wet on South aspects around noon. We stayed away from North aspects which have massive overhanging corniches. We had amazing skying and left with happy sunburn smiles.
