Snow report Western Allgäu foothills, 01/17/2026

Surfing the leftovers on the south-facing local mountain from the front door before they are gone. On the ascent, the already frequent pearly patches are no problem, on the descent you can still get around them as far as possible. But not for long. For the altitude and exposure (900-1300m, south) you almost have to give it two stars. In the all-day shade, it's hard and underneath it's building up, otherwise everything from firn to braking snow. A certain steepness really helps the skiing enjoyment. If the high pressure continues like this, we may have a double old snow problem the next time it snows.
