Still (very) little snow, but definitely two stars for this winter. Above 1500/1600 fluctuating up to possibly 50-70 cm of snow (north side).
Snow quality
Dry old snow on the north side above 1600m. Underneath, melted snow cover.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: low
Above: 1700 m
Risks
Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)
Drift snow was mainly observed on the steep slopes below the summit ridges.
Overall impression
Today we went up the Kleiner Bärneck from Donnersbachwald (via the toboggan run/Mörsbachwirt). Beautiful weather (sunshine and de facto no wind) in combination with quite usable skiing conditions (some nice turns in soft snow possible) are worth two stars to me.

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!
