Snow condition

... this quality is of no use if there is too little snow. Ascent just about possible, but with permanent stone contact, descent possible with extreme caution up to 1500m (photo), stone contact also unavoidable. Then carry down. To be able to ski properly here, you would need 1m of snow. The Ammergau is probably the worst place in the Bavarian Alps to go ski touring. There was very little snow before the WE, and hardly any during the snowfall. In some places there was only fresh snow, even though there hasn't been any sun in the cirque for weeks.

Snow quality

Small-scale wind-pressed, otherwise good, but...

Sharks and terrain traps are the problem...

Overall impression

If you have to walk down more than you can ride on the board, then it's just bad. At least it's sunny and (for good reason) no one else is out and about.
