Isolated avalanches are possible in gullies and bowls.

Isolated avalanches are possible in gullies and bowls.

In gullies and bowls above approximately 2600m, isolated avalanches can be triggered particularly by large additional loading, these releases will mostly be small-sized and occur especially in shady, wind-protected zones along the Salzburg border. Apart from the risk of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and taking a fall should be taken into consideration.

Gullies and bowls in shady, wind-protected places: older snowdrift accumulations cover the weak old snowpack above 2600m. Due to low temperatures and low air moisture the snowpack has become expansively metamorphosed over the last few days and thereby, lost its firmness. The upper part of the snowpack is soft; the mid-level layeers are faceted; the lower layers are hardened. There is little snow on the ground.

Intermittent sunshine is expected on Monday, some clouds will pass through in the afternoon. At high altitudes it will turn increasingly mild. At midday: +4 degrees.

Little change in avalanche danger levels is expected.
