Berchtesgaden Alps
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Altitude
900 - 1600m
Avalanche warning level
moderate (2)
Exposition
Snow condition
Worse than the last few days. I was on the same descent as a few days ago. At the top (wind) and at the bottom (rain) it's significantly less than last time.
Snow quality
Blistering at the top and often hard. In sheltered areas at medium altitudes, 1A felt slope. Extremely slow snow, difficult on the flats. Steeps went more or less well. The whole thing gets wet at the bottom due to the temperature and rain.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: medium
Risks
Wind intensity: Extreme (> 60 km/h)
Heavy loads. Certain areas further up are certainly tricky. At my altitude, there wasn't enough snow overall for avalanches.
Overall impression
Well, it was kind of funny as an overall experience with the storm, zero visibility at the top and this tough snow. It was great that almost nobody was out and about, which has been rare recently. Let's see what the next few days bring, I'm curious!

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!
