Snow report Tannheimer Valley, 02/24/2018

Snow condition

Lots of snow, more than we've had for years in the Tannheimers. No contact with the ground or rocks on the ascent and descent. Free choice of route, except for a few blown-off areas near the ridge and summit.

Snow quality

Still powder on the north side, max. 10cm on a load-bearing base. On the east to south side, the powder has already been capped today. But it can still be broken without any problems when skiing down.

The 2er of the Tyrolean LLB, is fully OK for the area, we could not observe any triggerable snow packs, but snow-covered sliding snow mouths are an issue. You can also fall into them, just like when crossing a mountain ridge! On the south side, we were able to release the surface layer of fresh snow around midday and thus create loose snow slides of small dimensions. These slide off quite easily locally on the hard surface once the sun has softened the snow.

Overall impression

Very little going on in the area. Overall quite good conditions and a very special foggy atmosphere. Very unpleasant and strong, cold easterly wind on the first summit. North-facing descents remain good. Other slope expos capped in the meantime. Great two-peak ski tour with very special landscape impressions.
