Weather Synopsis

Tendency

Saturday will be cold and windy, some snowfall will carry over into the daytime, but with only modest amounts (around the Arlberg: about 20 cm) With strong W/NW winds and cold, the fresh snow will be transported. Avalanche danger levels will increase.

Avalanche Activity

Mostly favourable conditions

Low avalanche danger in the morning. Isolated danger zones for dry snow avalanches mostly in steep shady terrain, caution urged in transtions from shallow to deep snow, e.g. at entries into gullies and bowls. Caution against falls.
