Lechtal Alps East

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already be elevated in the early morning.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already be elevated in the early morning.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already be elevated in the early morning. This applies on steep shady slopes below approximately 2500 m, as well as on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m. Wet avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. Avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach large size. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Such avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Especially transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack are unfavourable.

The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2500 m, as well as on sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. The snowpack will be weakly bonded in some places. Steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2500 m: Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the old snowpack. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals.

Slight decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops. Down to 2000 m snow will fall in some regions.
