Berchtesgaden Alps on 14.01.2024 | bergjunge

Snow condition

Unchanged from the last CR. In the forest only from about 1200m.

Snow quality

In the forest and protected, good, set powder or even beautiful crystals. Unfortunately, these were only short passages here. Above the tree line, increasingly influenced by the wind. Brutal slush party at the top.

At this altitude, the danger situation is very manageable. Wind-treated snow surfaces dominate above the tree line.

Overall impression

Short afternoon excursion with unfortunately mostly poor snow quality. Don't expect much above the tree line. But there's still good snow in sheltered, higher forest areas. Now the weather is changing, I'm curious to see how it continues.
