No signs of instability. We skied great powder on south aspects very little snow below 2000m but above that it is game on! There is a 10-20cm faceted crust sitting right on the ground with 15-20 cm of nice snow on top. Almost no wind effect on the new snow expected right on the ridge top. Enough new snow to not feel the crust below. Fun ski at any time of the winter, but still a hike down low.
