-10 at the parking lot this morning. There was a band of moist surface snow between about 1000m and 1450m. Height of snow surpassed a meter at 1200m and is 190cm at 1550m. The snowpack is upside down, the trailbreaking was devastating, but coverage is amazing for this early in the season. Deadfall became an issue on the descent at about 1150m, but I was able to ski to the car without too much care. -4 at the car when I left at 13:30.
