Description

First alpine ski of this season. Better than expected given the recent high altitude rain with soft snow and very little ice. Off piste below about 2000m was risky with a lot of rocks just below the surface. Still powder around on north faces but that will change with the zero isotherm going to 3500m the next days. We had a lunch rdv so only skied a couple of hours. Very few people around despite being the start of Christmas week.

Conditions

Good snow, about 50cm depth at 1400m.
