Avalanche Activity

Isolated avalanches are possible in gullies and bowls.

In gullies and bowls above approximately 2600m, isolated avalanches can be triggered particularly by large additional loading. These releases will mostly be small-sized and occur especially in shady, wind-protected zones along the Salzburg border. Even a small avalanche can sweep along persons and cause them to take a fall.

Snowpack Structure

Gullies and bowls in shady, wind-protected zones: freshly generated and older snowdrift accumulations now covera weak old snowpack above 2600m. Due to low temperatures and low air moisture the snowpack has become expansively metamorphosed over the last few days and has thereby lost its firmness. The upper layers of the snowpack are soft. The mid-layers are faceted. The lower layers are hardened. There is still little snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

Sunday will be radiantly sunny. Fog could prove persistent below 1300m. Winds will be light compared to recent days, blowing weakly from southeasterly directions. At 2000m at midday: +1 degree.

Tendency

Little change in avalanche danger levels is expected.
