Oberstdorf
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Start at 700 m. As usual, a very good base down to the lowlands. Old tracks are almost completely covered in snow again. In the meantime, what was nibbled off by the foehn has probably been put back on. It's been about 35 cm since Monday
Snow quality
Very fluffy this morning at -10 degrees. Less snow in places when the wind has picked it up. But there's even more behind the edges of the terrain. In places 60 cm and more of drift snow in hollows and behind cornices probably much more. This observation applies to elevations well below the tree line
Risks
As suspected, note the drift snow. As the wind came relatively constantly from the west, the danger spots are quite easy to recognize in combination with the visible danger signs.
Overall impression
It's great that it's constantly powdering. Many tours have been in good powdery conditions again since the Föhn storm. The only downside is the drifting snow and the fact that it's supposed to get a little warmer
