Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps

A favourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.

A favourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.

The somewhat older wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes, especially in little used backcountry terrain. Mostly the avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. In particular on steep sunny slopes individual small to medium-sized gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.

The snowpack will be stable over a wide area. The somewhat older wind slabs are mostly small and unlikely to be released now. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. Shady slopes: The upper section of the snowpack is soft; its surface consists of faceted crystals.

Low avalanche danger will prevail. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of wet loose snow avalanches being released will increase a little.
