Overall impression
Snow condition
The gullies (east-facing) are very well filled with snow and are all easy to ski on. Some of the open areas have blown off and are already snowed out. According to a report from another tourer, the north-facing gullies (Hoyos, Slavys and Schneegraben) are even covered with a little powder, but stone contact is to be expected. The forest path and the road to the wide Rieß are passable up to the car without any problems.
Snow quality
For steep gullies in the +-50° range, the conditions are currently perfect if you get there early enough (4 stars for me), but you'll despair if you're looking for powder - fresh snow would be really important.
Risks
Nothing noticeable around 10 am. In the late afternoon it could become dangerous with wet snow avalanches in the south due to the strong sunlight. LWS 2 above the tree line.
Overall impression
For me it was 4 stars, but only because I know the mountain and really appreciate the conditions at the moment.
