Avalanche Activity

Few danger zones in extremely steep terrain

Avalanche danger is LOW. There are only few small danger zones due to fresh snowdrift accumulations in extremely steep ridgeline terrain and in gullies, where releases are possible from one sole person, mostly by large additional loading.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is thoroughly wet and weakened at ground level by expansively metamorphosed snow. The small amount of fresh snow from last week has settled and become encrusted. Solar radiation softnes the snowpack during the course of the day. In exposed terrain there are fresh drifts deposited by W/N winds.

Weather Synopsis

Wednesday will be sunnier than Tuesday, but for a few convective clouds in the afternoon with some visibility reduction at high altitudes. However, it will remain dry. The NW winds will be be light to moderate, brisker in the Tauern in the early part of the day. At 2000 m:- 9 to -7 degrees.

Tendency

On Thursday no significant change expected.
