There is 2 to 5 cm of fresh snow lying on a widespread refrozen crust, which is sometimes solid and sometimes unable to support a skier’s weight; this is present throughout the mountains. Beneath this crust, the snowpack is well-consolidated. The entire snowpack is dry, apart from the base, which is damp.
At mid-mountain, the average depth of the snowpack is around 120 cm.
