Upper Black Forest on 09.01.2022 | rah

Snow condition

In the Feldberg region about 20cm have fallen since yesterday, in the central Black Forest rather more, but only above 800m. At the turn of the year the old snow had unfortunately melted completely, so there is a thin layer of snow, some of which has broken through to the ground. There is a maximum of half a meter above 1200m.

Snow quality

Looks nice, but either I've made a mistake or the snow is slowing me down considerably. According to other tourers, the conditions in Zastler are supposed to be some of the best.

Some of the drift snow is already covered again. I also heard some booming noises, but couldn't observe any fresh slides on the Baldenweger.

Overall impression

Zurück auf Los gilt nun leider im Schwarzwald. Heute waren einige TourlerInnen unterwegs, aber gefühlt weniger als vor Weihnachten, dafür nochmal maßen Ansturm in den geöffneten Skigebieten. Sie nächsten Tage sollten gleich bleiben, hoffentlich kommt aber demnächst richtig Nachschub, sonst wird das dieses Jahr nix mit Badisch Columbia ?
