You don't often find good snow this far down in the Black Forest at the end of March. This will change as the weather warms up, but maybe winter has a surprise in store. On the north side it's good up to 1000m.

Jelly snow

Not as fluffy as on Saturday, but still powdery.

Risks

No warning signs

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

My assessment: low. As long as you stay away from cornices and steep terrain. There is more sluff in the latter than in the last few days, but no cracks were observed. The greatest danger came from ice/snow from the sunlit trees!

Overall impression

4 von 5 Sterne
Worse

just missed 5 stars. But only because the view of the Alps wasn't that good ;) What can I say? Weather? Better than predicted. Snow? Better than expected. A bit settled, but still powder snow (north). It was almost surreal to have the whole scenery to myself. It's quite rare in the SW these days. Despite the warming, the snow is sure to last another day or two on the north side.

Note on Conditions Reports

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!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
