Overall impression
Snow condition
The original idea was the Siplinger Kopf, but there is a lack of snow on the south side. It might still be possible on the road, at least other tourers have unpacked there. On the north side to the Burstkopf, on the other hand, you can't complain. There was enough snow from the bottom, not a single contact with the enemy. Even in the forest you could ski without hesitation.
Snow quality
5-10cm of powder on a hard surface. A little wetter towards the bottom, but still good to ride. Unfortunately not enough to really step on the gas, the old tracks made it rough in places. Overall, however, much better than I would have expected at this altitude.
Risks
No relevant observations made on the tour, everything very stable. However, I didn't see or ride on any really steep terrain either.
Overall impression
Nice, relaxed ski tour. The last section in a T-shirt is great, but I don't actually want to do that until March at the earliest...

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!
