Leisurely carnival ski tour in the Ammergebirge (north-west; 1100m-2000m)
Ammer Mountains

Overall impression
Snow condition
The amount of snow is fine. Nevertheless, contact with stones is very likely. There is only enough snow in the forest or in scree cirques. The southern sides of the mountains are already thawing out. But touring is still possible.
Snow quality
Contrary to expectations, the snow quality on the shaded side was quite good. The wind and the high temperatures didn't have an impact everywhere and some of the snow could even be described as powder. Today the snow cover only thawed noticeably below about 1400m.
Risks
Heavy snow drifts and smaller slides were observed in the neighboring mountains. Caution is still advised. At this altitude and exposure, the diurnal increase in danger was not as strong as it was not as warm.
Overall impression
I was surprised that the snow was still good on the north side. A small drop of bitterness were the many ski tourers on our route.
