Snow Conditions

wet, powder

10-15cm of new snow sliding on top of wind affected snow on steep slopes (top pitch). Snow was getting better the more we got down the slope. Day was cold in the morning and changed to really hot when the sun came out directly affecting the sunny slopes with heavy radiation (11h30am to 15h30). We saw many skiers coming from dolomite trail heading to Oxo and skiing it down (around 12). Snow was well supporting midslope all the way down to the bottom of the valley and was feeling heavier because of radiation but still good skiing. Wind was calm all day until 16h where moderate gusts started to appear with light to moderate winds from the NW. Easy hand shear test BTL down 60cm (not measured) on FC. No other tests were done during the day.
