Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Above 1600m good, below that rather thin on the south side. The snow cover has increased significantly due to the recent snowfall, but only above 2000m. Below that, most of the precipitation is in the form of rain. Descent to Bort possible, or via the snow-covered Grindel piste down to the valley.
Snow quality
Wet snow on the south side up to 2700m. On the north side (on the downhill route) beautiful powder snow up to approx. 2200m. Then beautiful spring snow up to 1900m. Only in the lowest part was the snow totally soaked and difficult to ski. But wide freeride slats helped here too.
Risks
moderately well set. However, the blasting in the ski area caused some large snow slabs. There was a lot of precipitation, initially with a lot of wind, then it rained in places over 2000m high. But now the situation has calmed down again and the conditions are becoming more favorable with each passing day. Watch out for cornices. The cornices are slowly becoming very large and overhanging.
Overall impression
The Reeti is recommended as a ski tour. There is still good snow on the north side. Video of the fly to ski: https://youtu.be/5Va3sbzGjvI
