Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, isolated avalanche prone locations on shady slopes!

The avalanche risk is low. In extremely steep gullies and on shady slopes above the tree line, the triggering of small slab avalanches cannot be completely ruled out. Fresh pillows of wind drifted snow can be triggered as small avalanches behind ridges.

Snowpack Structure

In the last 24 hours, fresh wind slab snow (approx. 10 to 15 cm) has been deposited on a crusted can form old snowpack. Angular shapes weaken the snow layering.

Weather Forecast

Tuesday will bring mostly sunny mountain weather, and the shallow patches of fog over most valleys will clear in the morning. During the afternoon, extensive cloud fields will appear in the west. The wind will be particularly noticeable from the Gleinalpe to the Schöckl. The temperature at an altitude of 1500 metres will be between -5 and -0 degrees. The temperature at an altitude of 1000 metres will be between -2 and 3 degrees. Moderate winds with gusts around 30 km/h from southwest to northwest.

Tendency

Very sunny again on Tuesday with an increasingly southerly flow. No significant change in the avalanche danger is expected.
