Descent to valley (to 900 m)
Descent through forest

You don't often find good snow this far down in the Black Forest at the end of March. This will change as the weather warms up, but maybe winter has a surprise in store. On the north side it's good up to 1000m.

Snow quality

4 von 5 Sterne
Powder snow
Jelly snow

Not as fluffy as on Saturday, but still powdery.

Risks

No warning signs

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

My assessment: low. As long as you stay away from cornices and steep terrain. There is more sluff in the latter than in the last few days, but no cracks were observed. The greatest danger came from ice/snow from the sunlit trees!

Overall impression

4 von 5 Sterne
Worse

knapp an 5 Sternen vorbei. Aber nur weil die Alpensicht nicht so gut war ;) Was soll ich sagen? Wetter? Besser als vorgesagt. Schnee? Besser als gedacht. Etwas gesetzt, aber immernoch Pulverschnee (Nord). War fast schon surreal die ganze Szenerie dann auch noch für sich alleine zu haben. Ist ja im SW heutzutage eher selten. Trotz Erwärmung wird der Schnee sich Nordseitig sicher noch ein, zwei Tage halten.
