Overall impression
Snow condition
From Baad, it's still easy to ski from the valley with enough snow. The warmth next week will certainly change that quickly.
Snow quality
The ascent via Widdersteinalpe is easy to do, in the lower part a little difficult due to very icy tracks and avalanche boulders. Greater grip further up in the cirque. Crampons necessary. The descent to the east at the top is a good mogul slope with good grip; further down in the sunnier sections there is already deeper slush. Descent at 10.30 a.m.: no firn at the top, deeper slush in the lower part.
Risks
It is essential to pay attention to the time of day when it warms up; very early descent necessary for sunny exposures. Smaller slides have already left sunny steep slopes at 10 am.
Overall impression
Not top conditions, but everything was quite skiable. At the top, grippy old snow and quasi mogul slope, then slush after the cirque.
