Avalanche Activity

Naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches will recede as precipitation ends

Naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches will recede as precipitation ends and temperatures drop. Wet-snow avalanches can still be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts, esp. on very steep slopes in all aspects at high altitudes. Avalanches can fracture down lower and sweep along the entire wet snowpack, thus grow to medium size.

Snowpack Structure

Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter, leading to a loss of firmness inside the snowpack, resulting to loss of snowpack firmness. Many starting zones have already completely dishcharged. On steep sunny slopes below 1600m, hardly any snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

On Good Friday, dense clouds to start with, poor visibility and some rainfall. During the daytime hours, clouds will disperse regionally somewhat and the sun come out. Due to sunshine, numerous convective clouds will build up, followed by rain showers. Light winds. At 2000m: just over 0 degrees. Source: GeoSource Austria
