Snow quality

On the ascent today, it was predominantly a good-natured, easy to walk on snow cover. In the shady areas you can still powder, in the sun it's heading towards firn and after the snow cover also opened up for the descent, only the last few meters in the wet snow were actually no fun.

We didn't reach the level of the old snow problem indicated and the old drift snow deposits have now eased, so that we were able to ski everything quite carefree. However, the descents resulting from self-release or loose snow slides show impressively how the situation was here directly after the snowfall...

Overall impression

A gift day with few people on the trail. If you are prepared to carry your skis for a bit at the start, there is still plenty of space and opportunities to make your own tracks.
