Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow

Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow

Avalanche danger is low. Small snowdrift patches can sometimes be triggered by 1 person, danger zones easily recognized. Glide-snow avalanches are a threat up to summit level. Where there is sufficient snow on the ground, large-sized releases are possible, though most are small-to-medium. Avoid zones below glide cracks.

The snowpack layering is favorable by and large. Above 2000 m small snowdrift accujulations are unlikely to trigger. Due to warmth of the ground and moistness of the snowpack, increased glide-snow activity can be expected.

Star-studded skies on Monday night, dry air. Sunshine will dominate on Tuesday but for a few harmless clouds (esp. in Pinzgau in the afternoon). Light winds and mild, zero-degree level at 2600 m. At 2000 m: 5 degrees; at 3000 m: -1 degree.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
