How secure ?
How secure is this slope?
That's a question with a price of one life. For a week after the last snowfall, it was avalanche danger 3, but it regressed now to danger 2. So, it SHOULD be good.
It is never trusting to see that is nobody else on the mountain. But the avalanche conditions were very secure. No risk ! This snow was in fact fully ice crusted and this is probably the reason why the mountain is so empty : difficult snow ! Very fast with a dangerous tendency to block any turning attempt with skis.
There is also a satisfaction to achieve difficult turns and be able to go, even if is not easy.
