Avalanche Activity

Beware wet snow

Wet-snow avalanches are small but can be triggered even by one sole skier in isolated cases, esp. at the foot of rock walls along the Italian border following nights of overcast skies. Especially in summit zones, isolated small wet loose-snowslides are possible. Due to rainfall, the likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering will increase somewhat. Many starting zones are already discharged completely.

Snowpack Structure

Above 2200m, 10cm of fresh snow was registered, locally more. Weather conditions are making the snowpack even wetter, also the recent snowfall. The old snowpack is wet, esp. along the Italian border following nights of overcast skies. The surface can hardly freeze at night and rapidly softens in morning. Below 1800m hardly any snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

Some sunshine during the morning hours, then convective cloud build-up is expected and brief showers in the afternoon can’t be ruled out. Light to moderate NE winds will reach 40 km/hr. At 2000m: +2 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
