Hochschwab Mountains

Low avalanche danger, only little snow.

Low Avalanche danger. A few danger spots due snow drift deposits in gullies and bowls. There small slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads. Affected areas especially high shady slopes.

In the southern and eastern Styrian mountains the snowcover is still thin. Exposed areas are mainly blown-off and bare or icy. In gullies and bowls the snow cover is a bit thicker. The snow base doesn’t have significant weak layers. In shady high slopes in places faceted snow forms weak layers within the old snow. In the past clear nights surface hoar has formed which stays only in shady areas. In sunny sides the surface turns wet or firn-like.

Mild and sunny mountain weather on Suturday with just a few thin clouds. Weak northeasterly winds. Temperatures will be around 4 degrees on 2.000 m.

Avalanche danger stays low.
