Too much of a good thing in Chiemgau

Overall impression
Snow condition
I can't remember such snow conditions in Chiemgau, especially at low and medium altitudes. Even in the low valleys of the foothills, contact with the enemy is almost unthinkable. There's a frightening amount of snow at the top anyway.
Snow quality
Up to 900 - 1000m, slow poplar, above that very fine and bottomless, protected from the wind, on open areas wind-pressed powder into which you sink less (ankle to ski boot). Going beyond the forest makes no sense at the moment due to snow conditions and avalanches.
Risks
Last night's accident on the Teisenberg (see Bavarian LWD) is very thought-provoking and calls for extreme caution. Today we decided to avoid the forested summit slope at around 30° and instead went for a practice session in the flat alpine terrain.
Overall impression
Yesterday was stormy from a medium level and extremely inhospitable, today the weather is somewhat calmer, but still windy, with snowfall lasting for days. In these conditions, the possibilities in this area are drastically limited. Nevertheless, two fun descents in safe terrain, just fine. Maybe I'd rather go tobogganing tomorrow

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!
