Avalanche Activity

Caution: loose-snow avalanches on extremely steep sunny slopes

Due to solar radiation, increasingly frequent generally small-sized wet loose-snow avalanches are anticipated, esp. on extremely steep sunny slopes. Avoid the runout zones! Avalanches are triggerable by persons esp. by large addtional loading on NW/N/NE facing slopes above 2000m, releases mostly small.

Snowpack Structure

Sunny slopes: Due to low temperatures and low air moisture, a surface crust forms during the nighttime hours. Solar radiation will lead to significantly moister snowpack during the daytime, esp. on extremely steep slopes. The fresh snow and drifts lie atop an unfavorable snowpack on NW/N/NE facing slopes above 2000m.

Weather Forecast

On Tuesday all-day-long sunshine, outstanding visibility, temperatures rising. Light winds. At 2000m: +2 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
