Snow report Lech Valley, 03/07/2020
Wahnsinns Pulver auf nordostseitiger Skitour im Lechtal
Lech Valley
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Not lush, but sufficient. Below 1600 meters it gets thin in the dense forest, forest road or very careful sliding is appropriate. Above that it's fine, safe skiing including jumps.
Snow quality
40cm of the finest powder! No wind influence, fast, no hard layer underneath - perfect :-) From about 1600 meters onwards, the snow gets wetter and less but still great.
Risks
I think it's more critical than the 1 up to 2200 that was issued. The upper 15-20 cm were triggered on a slope with a 35 degree gradient on the descent. Broke like clods at first, but then flowed slowly. In really steep terrain, I think the amount of fresh snow alone is critical.
Overall impression
Madness! We started with more or less zero expectations. Then a treerun and a cirque in the super snow - permanent grin :-)
Think high, north-facing, not too steep cirques are the best option for tomorrow.
Unfortunately, the picture quality today was mediocre, the cell phone had a hard time with the light.

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
