Powder on Turner Fluebrig

Crusty snow until 1400m, then powdery but only on the north exposed slopes. Arrived at 1600 m we saw that the Diethelm (2092 m) was already heavily tracked and we decided to go on the Turner (2063 m). Very good choice!
We broke trail in stable light snow staying on the ridge on the left, the last meters with skis on the backpack.
A golden eagle was gliding between the two summits of the Fluebrig when we started the descent.
Perfect snow for the first 400 m, a bit less afterwards.

This is a nice alternative to the more classic Diethelm, less visited and steeper. It requires stable snow conditions.
