Lower Tauern Central

Very few danger zones

On shady slopes there is old powder atop a compact old snowpack. On sunny slopes the melt-freeze crust in some aspects and gradients (S/SW, 1500-2000m) can bear loads, then softens up during the daytime (the upper 5-10 cm soften). Hidden inside the old snow are soft layers of expansively metamorphosed (faceted) crystals, but are unlikely to trigger except in isolated cases.

On Friday, sunny, little wind (in exposed zones SE winds at 30 km/hr). At 2000 m: 0 degrees; at 3000 m: -5 degrees. On Saturday, pure sunshine. At 2000 m: 1 degree; at 3000 m: -6 degrees.

No significant change is expected.

Very few danger zones

Avalanche danger is LOW. Only in few spots can large additional loading trigger a slab avalanche, most likely in shallow-snow transitions from little to much snow on shady, extremely steep slopes, where avalanches can grow to medium size nonetheless. Naturally triggered avalanches: extremely isolated small glide-snow avalanches can release. In the afternoon, small moist slides are possible, superficially, both types on extremely steep slopes.
