Exposition
Snow condition
First you have to carry 300 meters. Then you have to search a bit off the beaten track to find the descent. On the south side there is still more or less closed snow cover up to 1400m. On the north side, downhill skiing is possible up to 1200m.
Snow quality
Rain cover with few soft spots
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Danger of falling on even the slightest steep slope. You have to be very careful where the terrain leads. It is better to avoid steep slopes above consistent areas such as forests or rockfalls or not to fall.
Overall impression
Hochgrat is hardly worthwhile with skis. The carrying passage is very long. The rain has chewed up all the fresh snow from the pre-Christmas period and left a lousy layer of ice up to the highest altitudes. You would have to dig deep into your bag of tricks for good and sensible tours.
