Yeah, i'm being overly optimistic. Previous pack is weak AF. Just holding on to the slim hope that the big rise in temps and a few days of being above freezing in the afternoon might improve things enough on the South facing slopes.
We're staying with the head of the local mountain rescue service and the plan was to do some touring with him next week. He knows a thing or two about snow. Might see if we can just take advantage of the conditions and do a bunch of avalanche training instead.
Weather forecasts can be so frustrating. Conditions were ideal for safe backcountry routes and the forecast, superficially, was for a few days of light snow showers if you only bothered to look at the BBC. 1m of new snow later...
