Exposition
Snow condition
In principle very easy. Only at the top of the ridge there are many rock contacts, as it is only slightly snow-covered.
Snow quality
About 20 cm of powder snow on a relatively hard surface. It was very good to ski but not as good as at the weekend for a long time. A little bit choppy at the top, you had to ski a bit actively to avoid drilling a ski into the snow at high speeds. Further down it was better, then slightly damp but still easy to ski. Everything that wasn't purely north-facing was slightly damp or already had a cap. However, we only left at 13:30.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Safer than we thought - in our rough planning, we assumed that we would skip the north-facing summit slope, which is up to 40 degrees steep, today. On the spot, however, we saw that the thickness of the fresh snow pack was quite even and the layer underneath was hard. The Bavarian LLB (2/2, no drifting snow in exposures N and NW) was therefore more suitable for today's tour than the Tyrolean one (3/2, drifting snow problem in all exposures). There was already good movement on steep sunny slopes during our ascent. The east-facing part of the basin also has significantly more visible drift snow packs than the northern part.
Overall impression
Pulver erstmal nur noch in reinen Nordexpositionen, denke das sollte aber schnell gehen, dass es in anderen Expositionen brauchbaren Firn gibt :-) Aufgrund des Traumwetters und der unverhofften relativ alpinen Tour von mir heute trotz nicht ganz perfektem Schnee 4 Sterne.
