What to expect after 1-2 weeks of snow and very cold temperatures in the alps which is happening now? The temperatures will rise up again and was wondering what to do. 4000m peaks the previous weeks looked 'thin'. Can any improvement be expected after such a short timeframe?

What you planning on climbing? Have you looked on la chamoniarde website?

I'm no expert. Wish I was. I would think if it's been cold with snow there'll be lots of powder snow so conditions will depend if any freeze thaw occurs now. The weather seems to do all sorts these days but what I've read is if you're getting to this time of year and it's been dry, theres not enough freeze thaw gonna happen now....it stays too cold. Like I say I'm no expert.

I guess end of day it needs someone to actually go look. 

Hope you find something to do.
