Overall impression
Snow condition
First over the ski slope with the touring skis, then over the Fadensteig with the skis on the backpack. The Fadensteig itself was very blown off and bare. Over the Plato to the summit there is also very little snow due to the storm of the last few days. In the gullies the snow thickness is still very low for this time of year but the descent was a dream.
Snow quality
After the tree line, about 10-15cm of fresh snow fell on a well consolidated layer of old snow. At the entrance to the "Breite Ries", a few snow mouths catch the eye. In the Ries itself, the conditions were perfect.
Risks
According to the avalanche warning service, there was LWS 1 today, which was justified, and the level above the tree line was judged to be 2. Pay attention to larger accumulations of drift snow on steeper slopes above 40°, as it seemed very brittle and unstable to me.
Overall impression
Very nice tour with a great descent.
