Lechtal Alps East

Weak layers in the old snowpack necessitate caution. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m.

Avalanches can in some cases be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Especially slopes adjacent to ridgelines are unfavourable. The wind slabs of the last few days are in individual cases still prone to triggering. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. These places are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. As a consequence of warming individual small moist loose snow slides are possible. This applies on extremely steep sunny slopes. In addition individual gliding avalanches are possible.

The weather conditions fostered a strengthening of the snow drift accumulations. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack, especially on northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Field observations confirm the existence of a weak snowack. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to moistening of the snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes. Only a little snow is lying.
