Snow report Tannheimer Valley, 03/04/2017

Snow condition

We climbed from Nesselwängle via the piste, so we got up without any problems. Later, we skied the ascent route from Haldensee to Krinnenspitze, where there are now a few short patches that weren't there on Friday. The last slope we skied was the north slope west of the Krinnenspitze. There is really little snow at the top, I picked up a stone with almost every turn on the first 50 meters. Apart from these short sections, it was safe to ski and accelerate.

Snow quality

Up to approx. 10 cm of fresh snow, which came with little wind on more or less hard snow cover. Some of it broke, some of it held. Can't pin it down to the exposure, it was quite different in similar exposures. In a shady slope, some hard old tracks interfered with the riding pleasure. Overall, however, quite even and very fun to ride.

Very stable conditions for the most part. It's nasty that the drift snow is now covered in sugar. We carefully ascended a slope with a cornice, which was already very hard due to the warming yesterday and the cooling tonight. We climbed up to 40 degrees and skied down. But I can well imagine that it looks much more critical further up in the Allgäu.

Overall impression

Beautiful round, definitely one of my better days this year Unfortunately only have cell phone pictures so far.
