Upper Black Forest on 14.04.2021 | rah

Snow condition

It's the middle of April! Start Rinken without interruption and with good will also Stollenbach possible. Since Monday about 20cm came again, but the snow from last week was gone again.

Snow quality

The fresh snow since Monday has fallen on the hard old snow cover again. Depending on the influence of the wind and sunlight, it can range from preserved powder to compacted to slightly hard, but still easy to ski.

In extremely steep terrain, some of the fresh snow is sliding off the hard old snow cover. Otherwise, no dangers have been identified at present, warming is not yet an issue.

Overall impression

Another Black Forest deep winter in the middle of April! Still good until Friday, but most of the trails are now groomed ? after that firn tours Zastler etc. still possible.
