In reply to mcawle:
There is no source of information better than the last person who went on the route you are interested in
or one near by with a similar aspect.
It is why it is important to post and share reports after you get back ... asap!!!
warn others if conditions are bad ..... or green light to go for it!!
so please share as much as you use !!!
one of the best forums I know is ......
https://www.camptocamp.org/
there is a good search engine ... you may need to use google translate because a lot is in French or Italian
BUT ..... there is a colour coded 'button' so you can scan down the list looking for stuff in good conditions
naturally you check and track the weather and use web cams ....... put all the pieces together and make your own decision !!!
