Finally fresh snow again in the Black Forest

Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions are currently good above 1100 meters above sea level, below that there is virtually nothing possible in the terrain. Every meter of altitude is currently noticeable, at the top the snow conditions are great, only the ridges are blown off by the wind.
Snow quality
The snow of the last few days has been very dry, unfortunately the amount is not that much and is around 20cm. The hard old ground still comes through occasionally.
Risks
The cornices above the Zaslterkessel are really mighty and look threatening, but as long as the conditions don't change they should hold. The fresh snow comes off completely on steep slopes. About 2 weeks ago, the gully directly above the Zastlerhütte went down, and judging by the tracks, it seems to be skiable again.
Overall impression
It was a beautiful day today and despite the large crowds I was still able to enjoy some nice runs in the fresh powder.
