Exposition
Snow condition
The snow conditions are very good considering the time of year and the altitude (950-1,700 m). A descent to the parking lot was possible without any problems and even in the forest you didn't have to worry about contact with the ground
Snow quality
The snow quality is currently very good. Although there was no real base at this altitude before the last nordstau, it was possible to ski the entire forest and actually jump all the pillows without having to worry too much about trees lying around. We were also able to find 40-50 cm of the finest powder, so face shots were the rule rather than the exception today.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
No avalanches were observed. You can ski a lot in the sheltered forest, although a snowboard release would be very fatal here (trees, terrain edges, terrain traps).
Overall impression
With all the pillows, there was more air traffic today than at Frankfurt Airport during the vacation season. The finest powder snow, super playful terrain and that at the end of March, what more could you want? With the warming from Tuesday, this was probably the last run that is possible in such good snow at this altitude.

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!
