Overall impression
Snow condition
I would definitely have expected more. There wasn't much more than in the Black Forest. The snow conditions were up and down all day. Sometimes really good, then the stones came through every now and then. The wind was and continues to be active and is very active.
Snow quality
Everything was there here too. On the north side, or where the sun rarely reaches, the snow was still quite nice. It softened a little in the sun and the first crusts appeared on the thawed snow towards the afternoon. But you could still get through everywhere very well.
Risks
The SLF issued a 3 with the following warning, among other things: With the southerly wind, clearly visible accumulations of drift snow are developing, which we were able to emphasize today, but otherwise the snow cover seemed quite stable.
Overall impression
It was a super nice day with a top crew. However, there was so much going on today that it was a bit annoying at times. There was everything: from snow tourers in racing outfits to groups of 12 without skiing technique but in good shape. Nevertheless, we can recommend the tour. Thanks to the lift support, you get a lot of vertical meters together and the landscape is a dream

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
