Bregenzerwald Mountains

Not much snow. Low avalanche danger.

Not much snow. Low avalanche danger.

Low avalanche danger prevails. Isolated small-sized glide-snow avalanches are possible on steep smooth slopes which have not yet discharged. Glide cracks are signals of potential imminent danger. As a result of frequently strong-velocity southerly winds, small-sized snowdrift accumulations have been generated at high altitudes. The risks of falling and sustaining injuries outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

There is little snow on the ground. South-facing slopes are bare of snow up to high altitudes. During the nocturnal hours, a breakable-to-capable-of-bearing-loads crust can form. During the daytime it then softens, particularly on sunny slopes and at low altitudes. Since there is little transportable snow, only small local snowdrifts were generated by the strong southerly winds.

Unhindered sunshine will reign all day long in the mountains amid relatively mild temperatures, with winds slackening off. Temperature at 2000m: -3 degrees, at 3000m -3 degrees. Light to moderate westerly to southwesterly winds at high altitudes.
