Exposition
Snow condition
Skis completely worn up to 1550m. Then yesterday still enough snow for the ascent. From 1700 enough skis for the descent.

Snow quality
Would have been beautiful firn with appropriate timing on the south-facing slopes. North-facing slopes between Reuttener Hütte & Galtjoch usually not sufficiently stable for an ascent on foot.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Classic spring situation
Overall impression
Super cool, completely on our own 🙂 Unfortunately we were too late for a short firn descent before the flight, the north-facing slope to the Galtjoch took forever. We kept caving in up to our hips.

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
