Avalanche Activity

Naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night

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 large size, esp. in zones with sufficient snow. Runout zones should be avoided. Unfavorable conditions for backcountry tours.

Snowpack Structure

Heavy rainfall is expected. Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter, leading to a loss of firmness inside the snowpack.

Weather Forecast

On Tuesday, gray and wet weather anticipated. Dense clouds will accumulate from the south and spread over the entire land from morning until night. Rainfall and snowfall will be heavy. Southerly winds will be blowing at strong velocity in exposed terrain. At 2000m: +4 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria

Tendency

Due to rainfall, frequency and size of danger zones are on the increase
