Sonnenkopf - die Sonne war da, jedoch der Pow etwas schüchtern

Overall impression
Snow condition
Just like last weekend, the base is good from about 1600 meters upwards, then it gets bad again towards the valley. There is a lot of drifting in places and, of course, bare patches.
Snow quality
There is everything from ice, hard snow, heavy snow to passable pow. It depends on the slope and the altitude. Below 1000 meters it is mostly very wet and bombed. Above that there is a mixture of, as already mentioned, hard snow, ice and powder.
Risks
That's quite a save if you don't go straight into a fully loaded north-facing slope with a significant incline. We also observed that in steeper gullies on the sides, there were some air bubbles between the snow and the grass cover due to the warm/cold conditions.
Overall impression
If you consider the last skiable powder routes, it was a pretty decent day, which was of course below average for this time of year.
