Berchtesgaden Alps on 08.03.2022 | bergjunge

Snow condition

Overall below average, but it is remarkable that after such a long time without any significant precipitation, it is still possible to ski quite far on the snow side. On forest trails, you can still ski down into the valley. On the sunny side, it's bad.

Snow quality

In areas protected from the sun and wind, there is still some very cool powder, but it's not very deep. Unfortunately, there is also a lot of track. Otherwise it's crushed snow or wind cover.

Relatively low, very inhomogeneous snow cover and much heavily tracked.

Overall impression

Finally out again, even if only for a short tour. The conditions are actually still quite good on the shady sides, in the middle areas there has been virtually no decline in the snow cover. There's still powder there too, but only in very sheltered corners, much of it is also tracked. Generally speaking, there's a lot going on and you can still do a lot. The situation will probably change with the coming warming.
