I'm driving down to the Alps tomorrow for a month. Been looking at weather forecasts, webcams and the Chamoniarde reports over the last few weeks and it seems there's been abnormally high levels of snow throughout May and more to come so we're taking ski touring gear.
Initially I'm aiming for the wider Zermatt area in general (Zermatt, Saas, Arolla etc).
Beyond "there's a lot of snow at the moment" does anyone have any useful info on conditions for climbing, skiing, avalanche risk etc (the forecasts have stopped for the season).
In terms of touring I'd ideally like to do things like the Strahlhorn, Castor and the Monta Rosa peaks before switching to more climbing orientated things later in June but I'm totally flexible.
As an aside, it appears there's no uplift from Saas Fee for a few weeks yet. Is that so or is my Internet searching letting me down?
Thanks in advance.
