Mangfallgebirge on 03.12.2023 | winterkind

Snow condition

This time we went to the eastern part of the Mangfallgebirge. The base here is a little worse than further west. The amount of fresh snow here is up to 50 cm. However, you should keep an eye on streams and pasture fences (mostly with barbed wire).

Snow quality

Fine fresh snow, which began to settle with the first rays of sunshine. On the 2nd descent in the middle of the morning, the quality was still okay. Presumably you won't find the best quality in this exposure from tomorrow onwards.

On the last few meters of altitude before the summit, there was some wind, which shifted the fresh snow slightly. The connection between the fresh snow and the old snow made a good impression. In steeper terrain, you should pay attention to the sluff.

Overall impression

Today was all about touring in the Eye of Mordor. The early start paid off and we were rewarded with great snow on the south side and the sunrise rounded off the day perfectly.
