Snow report Upper Black Forest, 02/16/2016
Southern Black Forest - mini ski tour between Blauen and Belchen
Upper Black Forest

Overall impression
Snow condition
It has a relatively good base, at least better than at the weekend in Switzerland at the same altitude. On the not-so-new fresh snow of the last few days, it has a nice 3cm cover that breaks immediately under load.
Snow quality
You look in vain for really nice fresh snow. I still had fun, because the thin cover breaks immediately and you can get down nice and relaxed. I've had much better snow in the Black Forest, but somehow I'm more frugal with snow on my doorstep...still only 1 star.
Risks
The snow cover seems stable to me and there just isn't much of the white stuff lying around. So the avalanche situation is rather uncritical.
Overall impression
It was only a short afternoon tour, but it was always nice. I like the short tours in the Black Forest, no matter what the snow conditions are like. Of course, there's no comparison to the real mountains further south, but it's only 10 minutes from the front door....
