Lots of new snow, my tracks from yesterday afternoon were fully buried around the Dome and on Zymacord ridge. Conditions improved drastically from yesterday and the previous days, notably below 950m where it was difficult to find any good turns. Today the snow quality was there, from alpine to the base of Shames. Keep it mind the overall snowpack is still marginal despite the improving ski quality, especially below that 950m mark.
