Snow condition

In the last north jam there was 1.7m of fresh snow on the glacier, so the snow conditions were ok. Ascent through the Obersulzbachtal, from 1350m almost continuously on skis. However, the road was cleared up to 1700m. Today on the descent, therefore, more carrying points, soon it will be worthwhile with the bike.

Snow quality

You can find almost all types of snow. It was best on the glacier between 3300m and 2800m with settled powder snow and then between 2600m and 2000m firn/sulz. It was better than we had expected on the ascent.

New drift snow at the top due to today's freshening wind, spring conditions at the bottom.

Overall impression

Beautiful tour in a great setting. Snow and descent better than expected. Only the valley is really very long.
