Exposition
Snow condition
The north side is consistently rideable up to 1800m. Everything that has been in the spring sun all day quickly becomes lean. Above 2500m, the spring snow sticks nicely to the rocks and it's snowed in like never before this winter.

Snow quality
Windblown on the glacier. Sheltered there were nice sprays and the shadow cast by these fountains could be put to good use. Below ca2400 the transition from pow to a pure, supporting cover that was nice to cruise on Trübsee. In the afternoon it was slushy to stagnant.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Steinberg medium steep slope was almost completely cleared by the first gondola. Open steep slopes with wind were not recommended.
Avalanche activity
Dry slab avalanche (small)
Altitude: 2800 m
Overall impression
Probably the last powder day in the area. We fired up the snow fountain machine once again and had a big grin on our faces. A worthy finale
