No jargon just photos from this newbie min reporter. Variable would be best way to describe conditions. Tree approach up to ridge snow was like velcro and skied okay for exit if cautious, still not fully filled in. We skied between 1450 and 1650 in bowl on mellow slopes. Around 1600m mixed wind press with 0cm to 10cm of ski penetration. Heavy powder in tress.Lots of open water in meadow to be cautious of.
