Avalanche Activity

Still little snow on the ground. Some drifts on east-facing slopes.

Avalanche danger is still LOW. Isolated danger zones are found near ridgelines. Slabs can be triggered by large additional loading on N/E facing slopes: small to medium sized releases are possible.

Snowpack Structure

Snow depths in this region are still way below average. The shallow fresh snow has blanketed an old snowpack which is unfavourably layered.

Weather Synopsis

Summit zones will be shrouded all day long in heavy cloud, light snowfall is expected in Upper Styria. Winds will be strong, especially in the afternoon at high altitudes. At 2000 m: -13 degrees, with the windchill added it seems far colder. Little change in weather conditions is expected: heavy cloud, intermittent snowfall in Upper Styria. Strong winds from the northwest. The southern mountain massifs will probably remain dry.

Tendency

It will remain cold. Little change in avalanche danger levels.
