Size 3 persistence slab from last week possibly corniced triggered lots of smaller slabs pulling out at the base of cliffs not sure of dates. 15cm new snow made for nice skiing. Height of snow 120cm near the lake. When you stepped you of your skis you sank up to your waist. Temps around -3C all day. Snowing 1 cm/ hour most of the day. Significantly less new snow near Engadine burn.
