Snow report Tannheimer Valley, 12/31/2014

Snow condition

Even in the Tannheimer Tal, there is of course still no real base under the snow, so you have to expect contact with the ground. Heavily blown areas alternate with blown-off areas. Overall, however, you can get up and down well if you don't mind the material a little.

Snow quality

Today without the lid from yesterday evening. The snow gets worse the higher you get. But overall it's still good. At the top, it was almost a bit sticky in the sun by midday. But you can still find dry powder in the shade without any problems. Dry powder in the valley.

LWD Tyrol: 2s LWD Bavaria: 3s (yesterday 4s) I have seen several snow-covered boards with cracks down to the ground and loose snow slides in steep terrain. Ridges have been blown off and terrain close to the crest has been blown in. Danger spots are covered in snow and difficult to recognize. The situation will probably ease a little as the temperature rises. However, the situation is probably still more critical than it appears with a bright blue sky and lots of people in the terrain.

Overall impression

Nice short tour. Holiday traffic: on the road as in the ascent lane. If only my legs weren't so heavy!
