Avalanche Activity

Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night due to thoroughly wet snowpack

Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night, esp. at the foot of rock walls on the Italian border. Wet-snow avalanches can fracture down to ground level and grow to large size, esp. in zones with sufficient snow. Runout zones should be avoided. Unfavorable conditions for backcountry tours.

Snowpack Structure

Heavy rainfall is expected. Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter, leading to a loss of firmness inside the snowpack, resulting to loss of snowpack firmness. On steep sunny slopes below 1600m, hardly any snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

On Thursday, gray weather anticipated, often poor visibility. Hardly any precipitation is anticipated in the morning hours, later on heavy rainfall will unfold from the southwest. Moderate SE winds will be blowing, stronger at high altitudes. At 2000m: +5 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria

Tendency

Due to rainfall, frequency and size of danger zones are on the increase
