Current conditions in Breithorn

Hey everyone, last week I asked if anyone knows what conditions are currently at Breithorn.
This morning was absolutely beautiful and I decided to wing it and solo Breithorn as my partner felt a bit rough this weekend and give you an update how it is as of now if anyone is planning to climb it within few days.
This morning as I mentioned was absolutely beautiful, very hot with no wind at all or cloud in a sky. Base layers even at -12c.
However due to storms and snow last(this) week crevasses are completely covered and not visible, hard to walk through deep snow, I highly recommend snow shoes or skis.
Plenty of people summiting today so I joined a group for safety.
Attached some pictures for reference too + bonus Matterhorn completely covered in snow.

Breithorn conditions

Hello everyone,

I will be driving past Zermatt(Tasch) next weekend and thought I should do quick Breithorn climb to kick new season off(I’m experienced if that’s what you going to ask).
According to the recent weather and future forecast it is and will be wintery cold with fresh snow. Normally May is much warmer with visible crevasses, but this year weather seems to be different. Before I commit and pack my gear has anyone been there recently and could give little bit of insight on actual conditions?

Many thanks!
