Overall impression
Snow condition
Snow-free up to the hut, then you have to carry another hour. The snow starts earlier on the shorter tours around Knotenspitze and Co. Here about 20 minutes from the hut. Unfortunately it will soon be even longer because there is only a more solid snow cover from about 2500m. The last snowfall was only noticeable from 2900m. Quite ok on the glaciers.
Snow quality
Above 3200, as already reported in other Cr's, we found powder on the north side, below that unfortunately a break from about 3000 to 3200. Otherwise top firn and then really nice rotten snow at the bottom.
Risks
Most of it is already down. Otherwise it's just the fresh snow when it gets really wet and of course the daytime warming.
Overall impression
Very nice tour and probably the last powder turns...? At the top you can do something longer, but unfortunately the carrying time will soon be well over 2 hours. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether it's still worth it in this area.
