Snow condition

It's pretty thin...on the south and east sides, skiing in the terrain below 1600 meters is out of the question and even above that it's rather thin. There is also surprisingly little snow on the north side, there was a lot of wind at work. In my opinion, if you want to get down to the valley with your skis intact, you need a piste or a track here in the region. It's usually just about enough for the ascent, but on a steep south-east-facing slope we once carried our skis for 200 m to preserve the natural surroundings.

Snow quality

At 2000 meters we made a few great turns on the north side - about 10 cm deep in a bit of powder, very fast and even. I think it was the same on the north side today, Thursday evening we had powder down to 1300 meters. On the south and east sides, there is still not enough snow cover for firn.

Appears very stable, no special observations made.

Overall impression

There is still a lack of snow here for really good off-piste ski touring. With an umbrella an extremely successful day - subjectively that would be 5 stars :-)
