Toured Alpen on Sunday.
The forest/FSR part - the snow was heavy and sticky. Was sticking to skins, skis on both sides, in the afternoon it was slow going down even in a straight line.
There was probably 5-10cm fresh and some flurries during the day
Further in alpine it got better - a bit more dry and pretty nice powder in alpine.
We skied the first peak from the hut (like a false one) and were able to trigger some minor slides under the load, no other signs of instability.
