Anyone know what ski touring conditions are like at the moment in this area? It's a quiet area; a bit out of the way and I haven't been able to find much about current conditions. Web cams I've found don't show much snow, but then they're mainly in towns/villages down in the valleys.

(Thinking of going in about a month, so could be more snow by then of course...)

Found this from a couple of days ago...not much to go on, but the photos are quite telling.

looks like conditions there are pretty similar to the Dolomites (I live just south). So pretty lean. Basically says they've had reasonable snowfall only recently, combined with high winds and low temps. Result is summits stripped bare, with powder lower down,but no old snowbase, so pretty rocky.
