Upper Black Forest on 20.03.2021 | snow_luke

Snow condition

Everything went really well today, even in the forest without enemy contact.

Snow quality

There was some really nice powder in places :). On wind-affected slopes, the snow cover was a bit wind-pressed, but below 1100m the snow was already pretty wet in the morning. By midday, the snow on slopes exposed to the sun was also quite heavy at the top. Everything will probably have a cap tomorrow.

As I said, it's a bit blown out at the top, there are certainly smaller snow packs. But everything seemed safe to me.

Overall impression

Unfortunately, with the heat today, it's probably going to be a bit harsh in many places. Today was another great day, 4 stars for the sun and for the fact that I didn't expect to be able to tour the Black Forest this late in the year.
