Avalanche Activity

Heed weak layers in the old snow, they can be triggered in isolated cases

Weak layers in the old snow can be triggered in many cases by one sole skier on W/N/E facing slopes above 2200m. Caution in transitions from shallow to deeper snow, e.g. at entry points into gullies and bowls. Avalanches can reach medium size.

Snowpack Structure

Inside the snowpack, esp. on N/NW/NE facing slopes where the snow is shallow, faceted, espansively metamorphosed weak layers are evident. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas.

Weather Forecast

On Monday, dense clouds or fog initially, sunshine will come out later in the day. At 1000m: -4 degrees; at 2000m: -8 degrees. Light to moderate NW winds, strong in exposed terrain. Source: GeoSphere Austria

Tendency

Pay attention to weak layers in old snowpack.
