Only a marginal refreeze at -1.5 °C, so surfaces never properly set — expect wet, half-consolidated snow rather than corn, with 1.1 mm of rain and gusts to 52 km/h in the mix. Widespread rime ice underneath is glassy and slides easily, and whiteout is likely, so navigation will be work. N, NE and E ski best around 12:00–15:00, but keep expectations low and watch for wet-loose on steep terrain.
A hard refreeze at -5 °C sets the surface overnight, so the clock matters more than the aspect you pick. SE and SW hold the window, roughly 11:00–16:00, with E close behind; shaded aspects stay locked until the sun works them. Everything below about 1450 m is off snow.
Deeper refreeze at -7.2 °C, gusts easing to 37 km/h, and the corn cycle carries on — get the timing right and it comes good. E and NE lead, roughly 12:00–16:00, with SW a touch later; shaded slopes stay firm. Off snow below about 1450 m, and confidence drops to medium from here.Forecast guidance at 2 days out — solid for planning, recheck the night before.
Refreeze holds at -4.4 °C but the freezing level climbs to 1974 m, so the good corn is a narrow band. N, NE and E only really work around 13:00–15:00 before things go slushy; shaded aspects stay locked. Below about 1450 m is off snow.Forecast guidance at 3 days out — solid for planning, recheck the night before.
Hard refreeze at -3.9 °C and light winds to 28 km/h put the corn cycle back on, with SE and SW carrying the longer window around 11:00–16:00 and E a little earlier. Shaded aspects stay locked and below about 1450 m is off snow. Confidence is low this far out, so treat the timing as a rough sketch.Model guidance at 4 days out — pattern-level only. Recheck as the day approaches.
