Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above the tree line. Avalanches can in isolated cases reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.

5 to 15 cm of snow will fall on Monday. The wind will be strong adjacent to ridgelines. The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers. Older wind slabs are lying on surface hoar in some places, in particular in places that are protected from the wind. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones.

As a consequence of new snow and wind there will be an increase in the danger within the current danger level. 10 to 20 cm of snow will fall on Tuesday. The wind will be strong adjacent to ridgelines.
