Lechtal Alps East

The conditions are quite favourable.

The conditions are quite favourable.

The mostly small wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering on extremely steep shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines above approximately 2400 m. The wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist loose snow slides being released will increase a little on extremely steep south facing slopes. On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in the northwest.

Shady slopes: The snowpack is largely stable; its surface consists of loosely bonded snow. This applies in particular above approximately 2200 m. More recent wind slabs are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and at elevated altitudes. Sunny slopes: The snowpack will be in most cases well bonded. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing softening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. Below the tree line only a little snow is now lying.

The conditions are generally favourable.
