Very wet, heavy snow from valley bottom to around 1100m made for a grind setting a track. Snow quality increased above 1100m. About 35cm fresh snow, and was snowing heavily from when we started out around 08:00 and started to lighten up around 13:30. Was a wet and windy day, temperature hovering around freezing valley bottom and around -2 at 1300m. Set off a very small loose wet slide on a steep slope at 1000m.
