Tour up Franchere Valley. Very shallow snowpack throughout (HS 0-120cm, HST 2cm). Old windslab was widespread throughout the ALP with weak basal FC/DH below, which was reactive to skier traffic in isolated locations (whumphs). No new Na observed. Winds were L-M, SW, with L ridgetop blowing snow from the west. Temperatures remained below -10C in the ALP. Snowpack at TL facetted and mostly unsupportive on skis.
