Avalanche Activity

Favorable avalanche situation by and large

Avalanche danger is low (1). Still latent danger of glide-snow avalanches which can trigger naturally on steep grass-covered slopes, mostly medium-sized, sometimes large-sized. Avoid zones below glide cracks. Due to solar radiation, naturally triggered loose-snow avalanches can be expected during the course of the day on extremely steep slopes, releases mostly small. Fresh snowdrift accumulations at summit level and in ridgeline terrain are stoo trigger-prone in some places.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh snow and drifts have bonded well with the old snowpack surface in general. The snowpack on south-facing slopes is thoroughly moist due to solar radiation, near-surface layers are losing their firmness.

Weather Forecast

On Wednesday cloudbanks will pass through, intermittent sunshine, high peaks can be veiled in clouds, winds mostly light, stronger in Hohe Tauern, shifting to southerly during the course of the day. At 2000 m: from -2 to +2 degrees.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
