Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, beware small snowdrift patches at high altitudes

Avalanche danger is generally low. Main danger: snowdrifts. On high altitude east-facing slopes, isolated danger zones caused by snowdrifts, instable snowdrift patches.

Snowpack Structure

Due to small amounts of fresh fallen snow and storm-strength NW winds, isolated snowdrift accumulations have been generated on east-facing slopes which at high altitudes are often poorly bonded with the surface. Through yesterday’s rising, then dropping temperatures the snowpack regained some firmness. The surface is mostly hard and icy.

Weather Forecast

Perfect mountain weather on Sunday: sunny and mild, winds slackening off. At 2000 m: 0 degrees.

Tendency

On Monday, superb sunshine again, dry air, unending visibility, light winds (shifting from north to east to southeast). At 2000 m: up to +4 degrees. The zero-degree level at summit level of the Dachstein. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
