Lechtal Alps East

On steep grassy slopes individual gliding avalanches are possible. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

On steep grassy slopes individual gliding avalanches are possible, especially on sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. Weak layers in the lower part of the snowpack can be released in very isolated cases on very steep shady slopes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in places that are protected from the wind above approximately 2200 m. These avalanche prone locations are very rare but are difficult to recognise.

Some snow will fall. The snowpack will be in most cases well bonded. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes. This applies in particular in places that are protected from the wind at elevated altitudes.

Slight increase in avalanche danger towards the evening. As a consequence of southerly foehn wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form during the course of the night adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.
