Bregenzerwald Mountains

Only few danger zones

Only few danger zones

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated triggerings are possible in extremely steep terrain. In high-altittude pass and ridgeline zones, small-area fresh drifts require attentiveness. They are often prone to triggering but small sized. The danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall outweighs that of being buried in snow masses. The risk of small glide-snow avalances continues to be difficult to assess. Caution urged below glide cracks.

The below-average snowpack is well consolidated by and large. In high altitude pass and rigeline zones, small fresh, often trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations require attentiveness, esp. on steep shady slopes these drifts have been deposited. On sunny slopes the most recent snowfall is already moist and is forming a melt-freeze crust. During the daytime hours, this crust softens up again.

Nocturnal skies cloudless by and large. On Tuesday in the mountains, generally sunny, only a few high altitude clouds in the afternoon, no disturbance to the sunshine. At 2000m: -6 to -2 degrees. Mostly moderate, intially brisk NW winds at high altitude.

Avalanche danger levels not expected to change significantly
