When does Oberstdorf - Kleinwalsertal close?

How much snow is there in Oberstdorf - Kleinwalsertal and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Oberstdorf - Kleinwalsertal daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/alemania/oberstdorf. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (2224 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.
