Spring tour before the refresh

Snow condition

First run up to 1200m on cleared forest road, then patchy, from 1300m continuous snow. From there, 1-2 cm of fresh snow on mostly snow-covered harsch. Sometimes 15 cm in small areas. It's a good thing that there are supplies, otherwise we would quickly be at 1 star here.

Snow quality

On the north side, the snow is mostly hard-packed with a little overlay, so it is still quite easy to ski. Watch out for mountain pines and avalanche bumps. From midday below 1500m, especially in the flat forest, heavy braking snow.

Relaxed. Too little fresh snow for avalanches. It was well combined with the old snow. The ascent was therefore very pleasant as nothing slipped away. Rockfall is to be expected on approaches below steep east and south-facing slopes.

Overall impression

Neue Gegend erkundet und passablen Schnee gefunden. Sonne war auch lang da und nur am Gipfel frischer Wind. Entspannter Tag!
