Exposition
Snow condition
Tour start just possible from Rinken Tour (carry to the edge of the forest). A lot has melted in the last few weeks, stones and roots are now only just covered in snow in places and watercourses are open.
Snow quality
Yesterday's fresh snow has significantly improved the descents to Zastler and Baldenweger. Unfortunately, the 15cm is not enough to prevent the old hard layer from breaking through.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
In the Zastler, a few cornices have come down in the last few weeks. However, these are easy to avoid. The next time it warms up, there will still be plenty more.
Overall impression
Top Black Forest day, only a few on tour and the lift days are coming to an end. If you can, you should go again tomorrow.
