Start in den Bayrischen Voralpen: Spitzingsee
Upper Bavaria

Overall impression
Snow condition
Just enough. Ground contact was sometimes unavoidable. At the bottom (1100m) around 15cm, at the top wind-influenced 0-30. Thin base was more likely to be found further down (artificial snow or cover from the first period of precipitation) than further up (all powder). nothing works below 1000 m altitude in terms of skiing.
Snow quality
Yesterday's fresh snow - a good 10cm thick - wasn't bad to ski on at all. It would have even deserved a higher rating if it hadn't already been quite rutted
Risks
Avalanche bulletins are not yet issued regularly by the Bavarians, and there is no reason to do so. So far you can only ski on flat alpine meadows (if at all) anyway
Overall impression
A very good little piste tour to start with, nice weather, lots going on and good snow on top, but virtually no base.
The Spitzing area seems to be the easternmost border of the region where skiing is currently possible (and reasonably rewarding). Every kilometer further west there is a bit more snow, let's see how the snow line behaves over the next two days, maybe something will happen again

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!
