Snow report Lech Valley, 04/05/2021

Snow condition

The first 15 minutes you have to carry, then snow all the way. A little deeper into the valley there is a very thick blanket of snow, hiking signs just peek out. With the predicted fresh snow, the carrying route should also disappear again :-)

Snow quality

Perfect firn, very fast and even :-) We left at 10:35, a little later wouldn't have been wrong - we kept to the more east-facing parts of the slope. After the end of the huge slope out of the valley, hard snow, but hardly any pushing / skating :-)

Very stable conditions with appropriate timing. Danger of falling in hard snow is currently more of an issue I think.

Overall impression

A picture-perfect spring ski tour :-) Light veil clouds threatened to put a spoke in our wheel, but then quickly disappeared again. I think it was quite local today, in Reutte it was probably rather overcast in the morning. With the forecast of fresh snow, the situation will certainly be completely different again - I'm optimistic and assume that it will get even better ;-) We spotted two Easter bunnies in the forest - if the corresponding picture doesn't go through, you'll have to imagine them...
