Snow report Oberstdorf, 03/30/2019

Snow condition

still, despite +19°C today, very good. from the extremely well-filled pp, approx. 10min. ski carry. the road is unfortunately cleared black. from then on, no problems with skis to the summit and back again. free choice of route possible everywhere without restrictions.

Snow quality

in shady and wind-protected locations, still something similar to pow. otherwise, however, everything that spring has to offer, in strongly varying quality. from pow with a light wind cover, to a supporting ice crust and perfect silt snow, everything was there.

it's spring! we encountered very stable conditions. even the relatively soft, south-facing summit slope was still easy to walk on at 11.30am. no snow slides could be triggered. however, there are still a few untracked slides, especially on south-facing grass and rocky slopes above 2000m. beyond that, the trend towards afternoon ski tours seems to be continuing. at 1pm there were still a few ski tourers on the ascent.

Overall impression

after the overcrowded parking lot, the traffic jam on the summit slope and the crowds at the summit, i have decided not to do any more "fashion tours" this season.
... and then once again to the hunter, who has put up 2 signs regarding his wildlife rest areas for black deer. you have to walk past them on the ascent. unfortunately, on the descent, the designated rest area is then used anyway and without necessity (last picture, far left). so you can def. avoid any further closures.
