Anyone news about the snow there?

 
lots. Tower is buried. 2.5m in the meadow, exit requires extra care. 2.5hrs to get up. Gators and suitable clothing a must. Snow shoes also useful

time to book another trip,, i still have the snow chains !!! and the snow/wingsuit.. thanks james for the good times

Is the detour route still in effect?

Did anyone work out how to jump with snowshoes? I swear I was about to buy some...

Knows anyone of snowshoes that would fit inside a V3?
I would buy them at once.

I hope that crampons would be sufficient.
I'll check in Munich and let ya know. I really hate tracking jumps when one is bulked out because of winter survival gear.
Any one else feel this way?
Take care,

if you're looking for crampons in munich check "sport schuster".
they got nice and light ones for about 30€ and you can keep them on for the jump (even in a wingsuit).

Last time I was there, I got stuck in the snow and had to turn around. Crampons didn´t help. Snowshoes would have helped

I also don´t like being stuffed, so the alternative would be to leave the snowshoes at the exit. You would have to retrieve them later, so you need at least two pairs.

Those who remember Peter Schäffler will know about the crutches he left on YO and retrieved later.
