Beautiful weather and very relaxed tour on the Hochkönig

Overall impression
Snow condition
Sufficient up to approx. 1200m, in places even lower. It's ok for riding but it will be a short spring.
Snow quality
Today we were on rather wet and flat (approx. 25°) S-SE slopes between approx. 14-1800m. 5-7cm of rather wet and wind influenced snow from tonight lay on a very thick broken snow. Quite nice to ride even if not spectacular.
Risks
If it had been 30cm of fresh snow instead of 5cm, I would have been a bit afraid of the 25° steep slope. The fresh snow didn't bond with the hard snow at all and slid away easily. Nevertheless, we didn't see anything where we were. Let's see what it looks like tomorrow with more snow/rain/...
Overall impression
We were on the road until about 2pm and it was mostly sunny and nice to be out and about.
