Exposition

Snow condition

3 von 5 Sterne
Descent to valley (to 800 m)
Descent through forest
Blown backs
Covered shoes

The forest is (still) very well snowed in, forest ditches but also normal high forest good to ride (the snow was still best there anyway). As always on the high plateau, there is a lot of blowing snow, but you can get through easily (even if there is a lot of horrible, icy "snow"). Descent to the bus station.

Snow quality

2 von 5 Sterne
Hard, pressed snow
Breakable crust
Firn
Wind drifted snow

Everything available, always tending to be on the worse side. On shady, wind-protected slopes, "sugar snow" with a breeze of surface frost on a load-bearing layer of old snow. Otherwise, lots of hard-packed snow (up to ice) at the top of the plateau, "slab powder", some south-facing, wind-protected parts were also a bit firny. Otherwise, however, it was too cold and stormy for firn. Of course, there was also some drift snow of varying hardness ...

Wind drifted snow

Intensity: low

Risks

No warning signs
South-East

Wind intensity: High (40 – 60 km/h)

No danger signs visible. Horrible, icy cold wind (southeast). The summit has an LWD wind measuring station: 60 km/h with gusts of 70 km/h. And that at -10 degrees (midday). I haven't been this cold (on my face and fingers) all winter (despite the bright sunshine!).

Overall impression

2 von 5 Sterne
Better

Sehr lange, sehr einsame Tour quer über das gesamte Hochplateau. Sehr schöne Landschaftseindrücke. Leider waren - die sowieso wenigen - interessanten Abfahrtshänge nur von zweifelhafter Schneequalität. Daher - aus abfahrtsorientierter Sicht - nur zwei Sterne (sogenannte "Schlumpftour"). Mit zunehmenden Temperaturen wird es wohl besser werden, da sonnenexponierte Hänge auffirnen.
