Snow report Oberstdorf, 01/10/2021

Snow condition

From the Gunzesrieder Säge you can easily get up and down without hitting too many stones. Below about 1200 m, however, it becomes borderline in places and you have to drive with foresight. Shortly below the summit slope there are a few larger stones peeking out, but they are easy to see and all around you can enjoy a carefree ride. On the south side, it looks like the snow cover is thinning out in the surrounding area, but it is not yet completely snow-free.

Snow quality

Powdery everywhere. But very busy. Around the Bleicherhorn it looks like a ski slope. Kind of funny to see like this. There's absolutely nothing going on in the forest and it will take at least one, or better two, very good snowfalls before the runs here are any fun.

Little snow. No avalanches. But: with the coming snowfall, pay particular attention to the snow surface today. There is quite a lot of surface frost, preferably on the north side and in the shade of trees and small hollows. You should keep this in mind for the next tours

Overall impression

A jaunt up the Bleicherhorn with a fair amount of activity. Conditions are ok. You can go on tours and certainly find first lines if you go into somewhat hidden cirques around 2000m where nobody has been yet and the base is suitable. The modetours are tracked but worth it for the view alone.
