Avalanche Activity
Beware snow snowdrift accumulations and rain impact
Avalanche danger is low. Fresh small snowdrift accumulations are trigger-prone at high altitudes, can often be triggered by 1 person, esp. in steep gullies and bowls. Danger of taking a fall outweighs that of snow masses. Due to rain impact, small loose-snow avalanches can be expected on extremely steep sunny slopes below 1800 m.
Snowpack Structure
Due to southerly foehn winds, snowdrifts on shady slopes are often deposited atop soft layers where they are trigger-prone. Rain impact is making the snowpack forfeit its firmness.
Weather Forecast
Along the Tauern and Nockberge, cloudy skies at night, some precipitation (snowfall level at 1500 m). Stormy southerly winds. At 2000 m: 0 degrees.Near the Main Tauern Ridge and in the Lungau Nockberge, reduced visibility on Wednesday, some precipitation is possible, snowfall level at 1500-1900 m. Strong-to-stormy southerly winds, later slackening off. At 2000 m: 0 degrees.
Tendency
Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
