Snow report Zugspitz Arena, 04/27/2019
A little fresh snow will have to do

Overall impression
Snow condition
There has been a massive thaw in the last few days. The snow reaches up to 2000m, but in open terrain you have to ski between the scree fields. There is still enough snow in the upper area, only humps and ridges have blown off.
Snow quality
It has snowed a little, but only a little. The few centimetres of fresh snow are wind-blown and collected in hollows and gullies. From 11 a.m., the fresh snow was also sticky from the sun.
Risks
The old snow was well frozen and had a stable cover. The fresh snow was windblown and bound. I was only out and about on flat terrain today. In steeper terrain, snow slabs would certainly be expected in drifting snow. There wasn't enough fresh snow for spontaneous avalanches.
Overall impression
As the days on the Zugspitze are numbered, it was ok to go up again today. If you found a nice flat hollow with snow in it, it was also quite nice to ski. In the morning, the visibility was passable and the sun came through at times.
