Lech Valley

Overall impression
Snow condition
Sufficient - descents on forest trails down to the valley are still possible. On the south side, the valley descents are already very in.
Snow quality
From Huie to pfuie Everywhere where no sun came up to an altitude of 2000 Brüggelhart. When the sun was shining, there was beautiful firn. Above 2200 meters up to 2600 meters slab powder. This could be skied well with a little smack. But below 1700 meters it was hard and tricky to ski. So 3-4 stars for the firn and -1 star for the hard scraping. Crampons in the ascent and crampons and ice axe obligatory on steep steps.
Risks
As expected, some massive sliding snow avalanches had already started. Rip edges of 1 meter were visible. So it was no longer quite so tricky.
Overall impression
Classic of the Allgäu main summits from the Lechtal. Super day with no wind and a few great turns in firn and slab powder. We quickly forget the sliding around on hard frozen ground. Pictures (c) C. Laukel
