North chain

Overall impression
Snow condition
Actually, in a normal winter it should be 5*, because the descent to the Hungerburg is also possible in dense forest with a great base. This year, however, it was possible to ski as far as the town at 600m, so only 4*. Hardly any fresh snow from last night. About 5cm over 2000m.
Snow quality
As the Nordkette towards the ski area consists mainly of south-facing slopes, the slopes have already suffered from the sun and the heat. The main gullies are blown up and the avalanche foothills are rather difficult to ski in the lower parts... Untracked from 2200m to approx. 1800m, the snow is ok and easy to ski. Below that it gets very damp and soft... High up on the shaded side you get an idea that it can still be good on the north side.
Risks
According to LLB level 2, good in the standard variants. Massive cracks down to the ground on the meadow slopes. A car fits in there, phew... Otherwise the 2 seems appropriate.
Overall impression
Descents into the valley, and fine slush turns still just 3*. But replenishment would be nice!
