Avalanche Activity

Moderate Avalanche danger due to snowdrift in high altitudes!

Moderate avalanche danger above the tree line, below that: low avalanche danger. Driftsnow accumulations are located in gullies and bowls in the sectors east to south. Caution near Alpenhauptkamm because there it got significantly more new snow. Small to medium slab avalanches can be triggered with small additional loads.

Snowpack Structure

South of the Alpenhauptkamm the snowcover is still thin. Only little new snow has fallen during Christmas. Due to wind transfer, there is a bit more snow in gullies and bowls. Driftsnow deposits are poorly bonded with the snow base. Blown-off areas are hard and icy.

Weather Forecast

Clear, sunny mountain weather in the 26th. Excellent visibility! Temperatures in 2.000 m increase during the course of the day and will be around 0 degrees at noon. Moderate to vivid winds coming from northeast.

Tendency

Decreasing windslab problems and avalanche danger.
