Snow condition
The situation is getting closer and closer to 3 stars, but at the moment the base is still not really there below about 1500 meters. Everything above 1800 meters is very good to ride and you don't normally have to worry about contact with rocks. Of course, the icing on the cake is missing on the base
Snow quality
In contrast to the day before yesterday, the snow quality here on the Sonnenkopf has also improved significantly. There is a fairly thin layer of powder about 8-15cm thick and the surface is also pleasant to ski on. The icy patches have mostly disappeared and the heavy snow is only present in the very low areas. The top layer is actually quite fine and fluffy.
Risks
As the base is pretty well connected and the fresh snow is well accepted, it should be mostly save, except for ... yes, as always ... the fully loaded north-facing slopes, which are also quite steep.
Overall impression
It would have been a great day ... if it hadn't been for the unpleasant high fog that was hanging around all day and limited visibility to 30 meters in places.
