Bregenzerwald Mountains

Predominantly favorable conditions

Due to daytime warmth, slides and small loose-snow avalanches

On sun-bathed steep slopes, increasingly frequent slids and small-to-medium wet-snow avalanches are possible during the course of the day due to solar radiation and daytime rising temperatures. In addition, on steep grass-covered slopes where there is sufficient snow or a smooth ground surface, small glide-snow avalanches are still possible. In addition, isolated danger zones occur esp. in ridgeline shday steep terrain and in extremely steep terrain. Isolated slab avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate caution.

Steep shady slopes have small snowdrifts atop often faceted weak soft layers, bonding is generally adequate. At night a breakable crust forms, sometimes capable of bearing loads. On steep north-facing slopes, there is still powder. The old snowpack is well consolidated. On sunny slopes and at lower altitudes the fresh snow will fall on bare ground, the snow is often moist by daytime, lower altitude slopes are becoming bare of snow. Below 1500m there is little snow on the ground.

Dry air and star-studded nighttime skies. Friday will bring mild mountain weather. Zero-degree level will rise to nearly 3000m. Quite sunny, only a few cirrus clouds. No significant winds. At 2000m: +5 to +8 degrees. Light to moderate S/SW winds, brisker as evening approaches.
