Berchtesgaden Alps on 28.12.2021 | bergjunge

Snow condition

Well, it was very bad from the start and is just getting worse and worse. Only a little bit of sliding around on pistes and gentle alpine meadows is possible.

Snow quality

Unfortunately not as good as I thought when I went up. I had hoped for sulz, but it wasn't so soft after all, despite the moisture in this area. Fast, but rough. Untracked would perhaps be better, but that's no longer available.

Strong winds and warmth - but a very compact and light snow cover. and there is little snow to move. Some smaller slides and snow mouths could be seen on the east-southeast side. The main danger mmn is the lack of snow...

Overall impression

Speziell heute Nachmittag, als ich unterwegs war, nochmal weniger gute Bedingungen durch Regen, Schneeregen und starkem Wind. Die nächsten Tage werden der Schneedecke noch mal dramatisch zusetzen, aber mehr als eine ungenügende Basis wars hier ohnehin nie. Den zweiten Stern heb ich mir auf, damit ich nächste Woche dann einen geben kann. ;)
