Snow report Oberstdorf, 01/23/2016
Evening tour: Allgäu, eastern foothills of the Alps
Oberstdorf

Overall impression
Snow condition
Wow, suddenly there's frighteningly little on the mountains in the first row. In steeper terrain, it suddenly becomes very thin in more frequented places. Otherwise (still) sufficient. It has rained and the temperatures have risen sharply. You notice that immediately.
Snow quality
Softened, older snow. Acceptable to ski. Could be worse, therefore 2 stars.
Risks
LLB level 2, probably a low 2 in the eastern foothills. Have not identified any danger spots. The rising temperatures and the soaking of the snowpack are likely to pose the greatest risks.
Overall impression
An evening tour like this can also save the day. The description probably doesn't sound like much fun - but we had it anyway. It could be a lot worse, so 2 stars. Go out and take your skis with you while it's still good. Given the forecast, I'll get the MTB ready just in case.
