Ski tour on the Allgäu main ridge on 27.02.2022 | mischi

Snow condition

Descent down to the bottom no problem. A little thin in the forest, on smaller ridges the stones like to come through. Thick snow in gullies and hollows. About 15 fresh until yesterday morning, more in gullies.

Snow quality

In the shade Cold, untracked, dusty and a little bit huge with sleet. Great to ride. Only about 10cm too little, as you hit the ground from time to time. In the sun there was a noticeable sting and balls.

Yesterday the north wind raged violently, west and partly north with clear wind signs. Strong southeast wind with long snow plumes this morning. Below 2200 aner no problem with larger snow packs. Hardly any binding in the snow, lots of sluff on the way.

Overall impression

What a day! Bluebird and really lots of fresh snow. Of course there could be more, but it was really fun. And hardly any people on the way. Without any danger signs at our altitude, we also chose a few steeper gullies and it was worth it. All in all: a day for which you do this sport.
