Overall impression
Snow condition
Tours only make sense above 900 meters. There's snow below that, but without breaking your skis, it's sometimes very difficult to choose a route, and on the leeward side, there's easily half a meter behind the summits. In other places almost nothing. There is also a crust almost everywhere. The warm wind has done a lot of work in the last few days.
Snow quality
Due to the warm temperatures of the last few days, the quality has deteriorated considerably. We need icy temperatures and fresh snow again soon, otherwise it's no fun
Risks
Not critical on my tour of the local mountain. The snow has settled well and the wind loads are still very limited.
Overall impression
That was still nothing. The conditions in the Black Forest have been much better in the past. In order for the bigger and more interesting tours in the Black Forest to be possible, we need more snow. That's supposed to come. I'm looking forward to it.

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!
