Avalanche Activity

Favorable backcountry conditions persist, no significant change in the avalanche situation

Isolated danger zones on north-facing slopes, where the persistent weak layer (more deeply embedded weak layer) prevails. On shady, extremely steep slopes, triggering a slab cannot be ruled out. Glide-snow avalanche activity is increasing.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is stable. Due to minor rainfall the snowpack surface is moist down to intermediate altitudes. The base is still stable. On extremely steep shady slopes above 2200 m, weak layers of faceted crystals are making the snowpack layering vulnerable.

Weather Synopsis

Sunshine all day long, cloudless skies. At 2000 m: -7 degrees. Brisk, cold SE winds will reach 60 km/hr along the Hochschwab. On Monday it will remain sunny and be somewhat milder.

Tendency

No significant change in avalanche danger is anticipated.
