Overall impression
Snow condition
Good for the time of year, but no longer abundant. There's still about 10cm of snow on the saw, but because it's hard it's sure to last a while. The last picture was taken at Alpe Rappengschwend, but is mainly intended to show the depth of the snow.
Snow quality
The summit slope was fun with a bit of momentum and skiing technique - a good 10cm of wet powder. I had a beginner with me, who had much less fun on the first lap ;-) Below the summit slope, the gradient was too low for the wet snow. So we were glad when we reached the Rappengschwendalpe and were able to ski on the groomed trail.
Risks
In the steep southeast-facing slope below the Höllritzer Eck, I could see sliding snow mouths. Nothing else critical was observed on the route, and I couldn't see anything from a distance in the Nagelfluhkette either.
Overall impression
With an earlier start and a higher, even more north-facing finish, we could certainly have found more powder today. As it was, it was a nice day in the mountains with at least two worthwhile mini descents right at the top.
