Relaxed avalanche situation. Danger comes from stone/rock contact that has only been lightly covered with snow or hard frozen old snow chunks.

Overall impression

3 von 5 Sterne
Equal

We were out and about in the side valley in the Allgäu main ridge in the north at 1500 meters and above. If you have an eye for the terrain, you can also get through without stone/ground contact. I'd give today's slopes 4 stars. Great weather even on the summits at almost 2400 meters with little or no wind. But snow quality and quantity cannot be transferred to the whole Oberstdorf region, so 3 stars.

Note on Conditions Reports

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.

Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
