Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Very similar to the CR from the Tannheimer Tal. On ridges and edges lots of blowing snow but in gullies in hollows up to 20 cm of fresh snow, underneath it a layer of harsch from the far-reaching rain on Tuesday. Dust on crust in the corresponding areas. Not all the pines and bushes are closed yet, but you can get through well, especially in the woods and gullies, but you can't get down into the valley. In the lee and gullies above 1300 m 3 stars, in total still 2.
Snow quality
The set (in the afternoon) or bound powder in gullies and hollows was beautiful. Powder all day in the forest. The slopes were also good. The rough and blown-off spots could be largely avoided. Between 2 and 3 stars.
Risks
Saw a small (approx. 20-30 cm wide) gliding snow mouth on an extremely steep grassy slope, nothing else. In the Hörner range, everything below 1800 m was a 2. Seemed pretty stable, the binding of the fresh snow to the old snow was also quite good.
Overall impression
Relaxing afternoon with surfy runs in the forest and between bushes.
