Firn

Meteorologists, at least those who are interested in weather forecasting, usually have a favorite topic. There are, for example, the foehn fanatics and the high fog lovers. What they all have in common is that they don't like boring weather.

When the days get longer and warmer, but we still don't want to put our skis in the cellar, it's usually about finding a ski resort that offers runs in as many exposures as possible. And one of the areas that offers ideal terrain for this is Lech-Zürs on the Arlberg. Reason enough for us to head to the Arlberg in mid-April for a firn session, which at times even turned into a powder session.

To the incomprehension of many ski fanatics, this year the lifts were shut down in many places as planned at the beginning of April despite perfect snow conditions. However, the internet told us that Obertauern was still open. Reason enough for us to pay a visit to the village at an altitude of 1700 meters.
