Snow report Hochkönig, 01/05/2015
Very nice tour today on the Klingspitze (freeride tour of the week) Snow was great, we skipped the summit because the summit slope was bare!

Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Snow conditions are good, no stone contact on the descent. Only the last part of the ascent is completely blown away.
Snow quality
Fine, cold, partly somewhat pressed powder. 30-40 cm approx. Underneath a somewhat harder crust.
Risks
Very tense. We could see some avalanches that had already occurred in the steep terrain, some of which were quite large! -Many areas in all exposures are very heavily blown in, both near and far from the crest! On the forest road near the Deutingalm, for example, there are some 1.5m high accumulations of drift snow! On the northwest side, the summit slope is completely blown away and on the east side it is blown in meters high! -Photo
Overall impression
Great day! good snow and few people on our route. only the weather could have been a bit better.
