Fresh snowdrifts!
Avalanche danger between Turrach and Koralpe is moderate above the timberline. Isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on east-facing slopes, where a slab avalanche cannot be ruled out.
At the start of the season there has been up to 60 cm of snowfall registered. The snowpack has now settled. On the Koralpe and near the Zirbitzkogel, winds have blown the ridges completely bare of snow. Snowdrifts are found on east-facing slopes.
On Sunday it will turn wintery. Snowfall is expected over widespread areas, and a cold northerly wind will be blowing. Visibility will be severely reduced. Compared to Saturday, it will turn measurably colder, at 2000 m, -8 degrees.
Danger of slab avalanches is expected to increase slightly.
