Snow report Lech Valley, 01/31/2021
Nice ski tour in the forest with wet but even snow
Lech Valley

Overall impression
Snow condition
Good. In the forest, downhill runs up to 1200 meters are possible without any problems.
Snow quality
Quite wet. But even and therefore quite nice to ride with a little power. Sinkage depth when tracking on the ascent approx. 20 cm.
Risks
Have dug an ECT at 1800 meters. At a depth of approx. 60 cm there was a few cm thick layer of round ice. At a depth of approx. one meter there was another thinner layer of the same type. Block could not be triggered over the 30 "strokes". To be fair, I have very little experience with block tests so far, but above the forest there is a slight amount of drift snow, and at 1300 meters, according to my friend, who was already standing at the bottom, the snow cover settled noticeably when I jumped over a tree stump.
Overall impression
Beautiful winter mood and a completely lonely tour, plus snow that was more skiable than we thought on the ascent :-)
According to the current weather forecast, there will probably only be really good snow again as soon as it snows.
