Avoid zones below glide cracks

Avoid zones below glide cracks

Avalanche danger is low. There is latent danger of glide-snow avalanches. In steep grass-covered terrain, naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches are possible at any time. Glide-snow avalanches are in isolated cases medium-sized.

The snowpack is quite stable and compact. Up to 2400 m there are little reserves of cold. On sunny slopes there is a melt-freeze crust which will not turn to firn on Tuesday. On north-facing slopes, breakable crusts can be expected, loose snow is rare.

Nocturnal skies will be heavily overcast but dry, a few raindrops/snowflakes cannot be excluded but will be the exception. Along the Tauern, more bright intervals. Winds will be light from varying directions. On Tuesday, heavy clouds will pass through, sometimes hampering visibility, windows of sunshine in the interims. Isolated minor showers are possible in afternoon, with only minor results, snowfall level in northern regions at 1200 m, in southern regions at 1500 m. Winds will be light. At 2000 m: -3 to 0 degreees; at 3000 m: -8 degrees.

On Wednesday, slightly rising avalanche danger due to fresh snow.
