Avalanche Activity

Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night, due to a thoroughly wet snowpack

Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night, due to a thoroughly wet snowpack following a night of overcast skies., esp. at the foot of rock walls on the Italian border. Wet-snow avalanches can fracture down to ground level and grow to medium size, esp. in zones with sufficient snow. Runout zones should be avoided.

Snowpack Structure

Following a night of overcast skies, reduced outgoing radiation and the snowpack surface can freeze only superficially, it softens swiftly in the morning. Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter.

Weather Forecast

On Monday, dense clouds will accumulate from the south, intermittent rainfall and snowfall, but only minor amounts. Southerly winds will be moderate-to-strong. At 2000m: +4 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria

Tendency

Due to rainfall, likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering is on the increase
