Snow condition

Still quite good for the time of year, but already significantly worse. On many meadow slopes, the route options are limited by many and large sliding snow cracks. Some of the south-facing slopes are already snow-covered again.

Snow quality

Here, too, the snow quality has of course suffered massively. Partly hard, load-bearing cover, partly broken snow and partly swamp. It's great on freshly groomed sections - we didn't even try off-piste.

Many and large sliding snow cracks in the region (south side Krinnenspitze, south sides towards Vilsalpsee and Hahnenkamm the east side basin). We were only out and about on prepared snow, so no observations there.

Overall impression

By the weekend, there may (!) be the first opportunities to cruise on firn. Otherwise, pistes and paragliders are currently the most sensible downhill options.
