Overall impression
Snow condition
Above the Vermunt and Silvretta reservoirs, I think pretty much anything is possible at the moment. Down below, it still looks good on the north side too. We skied down to the start of the Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse in Partenen without unbuckling.
Snow quality
Mixed. Still powdery on north-facing and wind-protected descents (Sonntagsspitze and Verhupf Glacier). Partly firn with good timing. For example, the glacier below the Schneeglocke was great to ski on Friday at around 3 o'clock. However, many slopes were not completely frozen. This resulted in some really deep slush. Old frozen tracks and old chunks on sunny slopes sometimes considerably limited the skiing fun. From Saturday to Sunday there was just under 5 cm of fresh snow, which made skiing on frozen ground much more fun.
Risks
Otherwise it made a stable impression even on slopes around 40 degrees steep. You can see some old snow planks from the last dangerous period.
Overall impression
Not the best days in terms of snow, but otherwise excellent touring conditions :-)
