Avalanche Activity

Rising daytime danger of wet-snow avalanches.

Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, increasingly frequent wet-snow avalanches can be expected, mostly small-sized releases, esp. on steep sunny slopes. In the morning: beware falls on the hardened crusts.

Snowpack Structure

Clear skies over far-reaching areas: due to low temperatures and low air moisture, surface crusts will form. Sunshine and warmth will moisten the snowpack during the daytime. The snowpack at low and intermediate altitudes is moist. Below 1500m there is little snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

On Friday, very sunny weather and good visibility. Light to moderate NE winds. At 2000m from west to east: +2 to -1 degree. Source: GeoSource Austria
