Went as high as 1750m above the meadows. Skied two NE facing slopes of approx 30-35 degrees. No signs of instability or whoomfing. Snow was approx 120cm deep at high point and down to 75cm closer to meadows. Snowing wet granular all day with about 5cm between 11:00am and 2:30pm. Did not dig pit, but pole end yielded fairly consistent resistance through the snowpack and no signs of any surface layers moving on ski cut. Non consolidated but good skiing with speed. Pretty sure conditions will have worsened with warm front.
