Savinja Alps and Carinthia

Wind will worsen conditions

Wind will worsen conditions

A small additional load can trigger a small to medium avalanche, especially near ridges where there are fresh snow drifts, especially above 1800 m.

On Monday and Tuesday, more than 40 cm of snow fell above 1800 m, and up to 20 cm at lower altitudes. The snow fell on uneven ground - in some places on terrestrial ground, especially on the southern slopes on drifts of blown snow. The northeasterly wind will move snow above the tree line and build up drifts - especially above 1800 m where there is more dry snow.

Winds will ease overnight on Friday, with a slightly warmer spell on Friday. On sunny slopes, creeping patches of packed snow will break out.
