Snow Conditions

10 ~ cm on the road until around 950-1000m where snow cover is more consistent. Patches of dirt exposed in some spots under the tree canopy below 950m. Skinning up through the trees is marginal (I booted most of this). Above TL the snow coverage is much better. Along with the ski quality. At TL the last significant crust sits roughly 30-50cm deep. In the alpine (1800m) it sits roughly 50-70cm deep. Overall ski quality is quite good with some wind effect along ridge crest’s and N Facing slopes. However, not enough to deteriorate ski quality. Snowed another 5cm throughout the day. Worth the hassle down low if you have good visibility in the Alpine.
