Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, favorable backcountry touring conditions

Avalanche danger in Styria is low. In backcountry terrain, old snowdrift accumulations on east-facing slopes require caution above 2200m, naturally triggered releases cannot be ruled out. Wet slides and glide-snow avalanches are possible during the afternoon.

Snowpack Structure

Due to dropping temperatures the snowpack surface is regaining firmness at high altitude. At intermediate altitude the snow is wet and often rotten.

Weather Synopsis

Sunshine all day long, cloudless skies. At 2000 m: -7 degrees. Brisk, cold SE winds will reach 60 km/hr along the Hochschwab. On Monday it will remain sunny and be somewhat milder.

Tendency

A slight daytime danger cycle is anticipated.
