Avalanche Activity

Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow

Avalanche danger is low. Small snowdrift patches can sometimes be triggered by 1 person, danger zones easily recognized. Glide-snow avalanches are a threat up to summit level. Where there is sufficient snow on the ground, large-sized releases are possible, though most are small-to-medium. Avoid zones below glide cracks.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack layering is favorable by and large. Above 2000 m small snowdrift accujulations are unlikely to trigger. Due to warmth of the ground and moistness of the snowpack, increased glide-snow activity can be expected.

Weather Forecast

Star-studded skies on Monday night, dry air. Sunshine will dominate on Tuesday but for a few harmless clouds (esp. in Pinzgau in the afternoon). Light winds and mild, zero-degree level at 2600 m. At 2000 m: 5 degrees; at 3000 m: -1 degree.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
