Snow condition

The snow conditions are starting to look really bad for the time of year. Sure, you can ski. But only above the tree line. Above approx. 1400m, you can ski in the forest with difficulty on forest paths or in aisles. There is also little snow further up, steeper slopes on the south side are slowly petering out, a lot has also been transported by the wind, but even in hollows etc. there is not much snow. Some of the ridges are impassable, but some are quite good again.

Snow quality

Three stars, as there is still some good powder snow to be found. Unfortunately, the snow surface, like the snow cover, is very changeable and there is a bit of everything. Slight changes in exposure to the sun and/or wind make all the difference.

Relatively relaxed. However, you should be careful on or under steep sunny slopes. Here you can observe both loose wet snow slides and sliding snow.

Overall impression

It will probably stay the same as long as it doesn't snow, although the snow will slowly get worse and worse.
