Overall impression
Snow condition
Uiui...on the first 200m or so there's really not much. If the equipment is not extremely important to you, you can still get down, but often catch the ground. There's not much snow at the top either, but it's good enough at the moment.
Snow quality
Amazingly good. On the north-west-facing standard descent at the top, the powder snow is even and moist. The further down you go, the wetter it gets, of course, but it's easy to ski all the way down. On the east side, near the summit/ridge, we had a disgusting slush cover. As soon as we got below the tree line, the powder got wetter and wetter.
Risks
There were some slides on the steep eastern slope of the Schnippenkopf. It was not clear from the view today how old they were. We dug once on the east side and found a thin intermediate layer that didn't look particularly stable.
Overall impression
Beautiful tour and very few people on an otherwise very busy tour Currently relatively heavy snowfall, tomorrow could be good in the trees

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!
