Avalanche Activity

Weak old snowpack with little snow.

The avalanche risk is low. At high altitudes in the northern and eastern sectors, a snow slab can still be triggered in a few places, especially with a large additional load. In extremely steep terrain, the transition from little to more snow and wind slab should be assessed critically.

Snowpack Structure

Little snow, south-facing many apere surfaces, broad ridge and ridges often completely blown off. The snow surface is variable. The old snowpack is weak, with faceted crystals between crusts.

Weather Forecast

Slightly changeable mountain weather will set in on Monday. The clouds will tend to be more compact in the area bordering Tyrol and in the northern Alps, where visibility may be limited. From the Kitzbühel Alps to the Salzkammergut, it may snow unproductively at times in the afternoon. Little wind. Temperatures at 2000 metres around -6 degrees.

Tendency

No significant change in avalanche danger.
