Overall impression
Snow condition
No snow records, of course, but the grassy slopes of the Gamskarkogel (supposedly the highest grassy mountain in the Alps ...) look attractive even with around 1m plus a good 10 cm of fluffy fresh snow. The snow also showed its beautiful side on the way down. Even with my more tour-oriented downhill skis (the green ones from 2013), I only occasionally felt the old snow layer.
Snow quality
The fresh snow deserves 4 stars (it actually fell without wind and when it was cold enough). But there was just not enough of it (at least the 10 cm were not avalanche-relevant and only slid down as sluff in the steeper terrain).
Risks
According to LWD 2 up to approx. 2500 and above 3. There were loose snow slides of the fresh snow layer on the old snow cover (mostly hard due to wind) on very steep slopes.
Overall impression
A definite three - combination of terrain, snow conditions and quality and weather. The forecast deterioration stuck pretty much to the schedule. At 13:00, the Grossglockern was already in the cloud layer. The Hocharn was just getting cloudy. Dachstein was still in the sun.P.S.: Unfortunately no photos today as my cell phone camera went on strike and I forgot the cable for transferring the camera photos.
