Stubai Valley

Overall impression
Snow condition
Easy start at approx. 2000 meters. The toboggan run has been cleared, but you can get to the dam wall without any problems. The south side is also still possible from the pass.
Snow quality
Never bad, but rarely extremely good. We left at 10:45 am. I found the summit slope a bit too wet for really good skiing at that time. The flat east-facing part below the summit slope and the piste at the bottom were really good. Otherwise, it was always easy to ski and fun, but there were some minor flaws: old tracks or a bit too soft/hard, and the traverse along the lake was a bit time-consuming and strenuous due to avalanche cones and ice/snow floes. According to a conversation at the summit, down along the lake was still the better option today.
Risks
No observations today either, apart from the warming and thus increasing danger. Shortly after 11 a.m. there were already noises coming from the eastern slopes above the reservoir, but it wasn't very big yet. When I crossed the reservoir, I first thought that the western slopes above it were largely unloaded. From higher up, however, I saw that there was still "potential" there.
Overall impression
Scenic, super beautiful tour with great views at the summit. With more local knowledge, you can certainly find even better snow.
