Avalanche Activity
Snowdrifts on east-facing slopes
Avalanche danger above the treeline is moderate. Avalanche prone locations are found in east-facing terrain, where slabs can be triggered even by minimum additional loading in places. Particular caution urged at entries to gullies and bowls, and behind protruberances which are wind-loaded.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack was able to settle on sunny slopes. Fresh snowdrifts now blanked the surface hoar on east-facing slopes, or a hardened snowpack surface. The fundament is compact and only in zones where the snow is shallow is it expansively metamorphosed.
Weather Synopsis
Mostly sunny and mild mountain weather on Friday. Possibly low lying clouds north of the Hochschwab at the start of the day. Winds will be generally moderate to brisk from the west. Only in the evening will clouds from the northwest become denser. At 2000 m at midday: -2 degrees in the north and +2 degrees in the Koralpe. Light westerly winds, brisker in the northern border areas at high altitude.
Tendency
Avalanche danger levels will continue to decrease.
