Avalanche Activity

Small snowdrift accumulations have been generated due to fresh snow and wind

The small amount of fresh snow still effects only low avalanche danger. As a result of fresh snow and strong westerly winds, small snowdrift accumulations are prone to triggering at high altitudes. Risks of falling need to be taken into consideration.

Snowpack Structure

Amid intermittently strong westerly winds, snow has been intensively transported. The fresh snow and drifts were able to settle in the higher temperatures on Saturday and Sunday morning, and consolidate. At low altitudes there is very little snow on the ground.

Weather Synopsis

Tuesday: Initially some sunny intervals, heavy cloud later in the day, light snowfall as evening approaches. At 2000 m: -7 degrees. Moderate SW winds, stonger in the foehn lanes of High Montafon.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change initially.
