Snow condition

Little sense below 2000 (E-S-W), from 2200 upwards up to 25 cm of fresh snow. Above 2800 largely carefree skiing as long as it doesn't get too steep (<30°). Descent into the valley only possible via the Rifflsee piste.

Snow quality

Cold, no wind, wonderful! No contact with the ground above 2800, then more and more below that due to decreasing amounts of fresh snow. Below 2600 already damp from midday due to diffuse radiation

Quite stable. Loose snow slide in suitable terrain

Overall impression

Very nice tour with more fresh snow than expected from below. Unfortunately, visibility was pretty poor. But with the forecast temperatures, it will be powder all the way up. Let's see where the effort will be worthwhile next week.
