Overall impression
Snow condition
No stone worries in hollows and the middle of the gully. Crossings on the ridge and back are still hostile. There is also a base in the forest, but everything is rock-hard with little support. It gets much better at higher altitudes.
Snow quality
Something of everything. From blue ice to warm sulz powder. Many gullies are super rideable with grippy snow. Only the exits and steep steps are sometimes hairy, there is a lot of bare ice. Depending on the line, ice axes and crampons and a small abseil may be necessary
Risks
In the ridge area drifts but only small fresh accumulations otherwise very hard frozen everything. I would confirm the two. Warming during the course of the day has caused a few small rocks and snow to tumble down from the south-western slopes
Overall impression
Despite below-average snow conditions, many new runs have been discovered. With approx. 1 m of fresh snow, you can ski without worrying about your equipment and nerves.
