Heed fresh snowdrifts. Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls.

Fresh snowdrift accumulations are mostly small, triggerable only in isolated cases, esp. on wind-protected shady slopes at high altitude. Caution urged in transitions into gullies and bowls. These danger zones occur seldom. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate consideration.

Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations have been deposited on top of an unfavorable old snowpack surface. Snowpack highly varied over small areas. Not much snow on the ground for this juncture of the season.

On Tuesday, sunshine all day long above 1500-2000m. Further west, skies will be cloudless, although high-fog can form for several hours. A light easterly wind will be blowing. At 3000m: -14 degrees; at 2000m: from east to west -13 to -8 degrees; at 1000m: -4 to +1 degree. Source: GeoSphere Austria
