Exposition
Snow condition
In Ratschingstal there is a surprisingly good snow situation from the parking lot 1500m in the forest 40cm base. Descents through sparse forest are easily possible. Above the tree line, large scree fields are still clearly visible. Ridges are also somewhat thinly covered. But overall you can get through everywhere without coming into contact with rocks.

Snow quality
Nice 10-15cm powder snow on wind influenced old snow quite good to ski.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: medium
Above: 2100 m

Some cracks generally planned defensively. The fresh snow of the last week has also been freshly triggered in some places.
Avalanche activity
Dry slab avalanche (medium)
Altitude: 2300 m
Overall impression
Nice tour to the Glaitner Hochjoch and below the Saxner. It goes well up and down through the forest. The slopes at the top offer opportunities to avoid the danger spots. They have nice cruiser potential. Of course you are not alone with the currently limited possibilities, but you can still find space to make your tracks. All in all better than on the North Tyrolean side of the Brenner mountains.
