Overall impression
Snow condition
Much worse than on the tours on Friday and Saturday, but there was no piste either on the ascent or on the descent, and we skied for a good hour on the ascent up to around 1700m. On the western slope away from the Stierlochjoch we carried a lot again, the snow patches can no longer really be connected. From approx. 2300m there is snow again throughout. The descent goes up to about 100 meters above the stream. The tour currently makes much more sense from the side.
Snow quality
Wet mush from top to bottom, the night from Saturday to Sunday was too warm. Almost always barely skiable. It was most pleasant in the lower part of "Auf der Rüfi" where wet snow slides had exposed some harder snow.
Risks
On the ascent you could simply push the top 10cm away, but they never got fast.
Overall impression
Great weather, beautiful mountain and such a descent is still much better than walking down, barefoot and topless with skis on the backpack across the meadow back to the car is also an experience
