Wetterstein - Grieskar on 18.02.2024 | hippski

Snow condition

Above 1,800 still good snow conditions, below that it gets thin and you have to carry in the forest. Descent into the valley only just possible via pistes.

Snow quality

There were a few slushy turns on sunny slopes, otherwise everywhere was rock-hard or broken snow. Melt/rain crust from the warming up to the very top.

Wet snow slides due to diurnal warming and generally much too warm

Overall impression

Schneetechnisch nicht viel zu holen rund um die Alpspitze - neben ein paar sulzigen Schwüngen, hart oder Bruchharsch. Ein feiner Tag wars trotzdem.
