In the area of the Eppzirler Alm there was little and hard snow, but at least you could do something.

Snow condition
On the descent from the Seefelder Spitze down to the east, a path has been found, but you still have to watch out for rocks under the snow cover. In the saddle to the east of the Wibmertürme, the snow conditions are sufficient, but not great. On the descent to Gießenbach there was still a continuous blanket of snow.
Snow quality
We had (broken) hard snow in all variations between approx. 1500-2000m (east to north), partly interspersed with old avalanche cones and only pleasant to ski in exceptional cases. Above that we had some settled powder for about 100m, below the Eppzirler Alm softer slush.
Risks
Many old cones were recognizable after the rain phase. Otherwise, the situation remained tricky and challenging to assess. A short gully section away from our route at around 2100m, on the north side, looked very blown in.
Overall impression
Little snow, lots of snow. Unfortunately, the rain has done a great job. Fresh snow is urgently needed, the current snow conditions are below average. But you just take what you can get
