Overall impression
Snow condition
Not much, but compared to 2 weeks ago, the snow conditions are almost the same. And that means something at the beginning of May, you have to carry your skis a long way everywhere, but you can ski up to 1500-1600m on the north side. Pits and gullies are quite ok.
Snow quality
Unfortunately, there's hardly any powder left, it's just too low. lots of different snow conditions: slab powder at the top, quite nice, but short, broken snow of various types, a nice but short section of fast firn, avalanche nodules, hard passages, swampy down to the bottom, sometimes with a lid and rotten snow underneath, so there's something for everyone!
Risks
Moderate. Observe the diurnal cycle and sunlit exposures.
Overall impression
Personal extra star for the as always fantastic view, great weather and relatively moderate crowds for a Saturday after fresh snow... I found the ascent (long carry) and descent (every turn different) exhausting today... You can certainly do something in the area for a few more days if you are prepared for long carrying passages. (Except for Göll). It looks pretty good at the top.
