Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps

The early morning will see favourable conditions generally, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later.

The early morning will see favourable conditions generally, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later.

Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep, little used shady slopes. These places are very rare but are difficult to recognise. On very steep sunny slopes small to medium-sized wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day. Backcountry tours should be concluded timely.

At low and intermediate altitudes less snow than usual is lying. Intermediate and high altitudes: The snowpack is favourably layered and its surface has a crust that is strong in many cases, in particular on steep sunny slopes. The weather will be mild. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack. On steep sunny slopes the snowpack will soften in the morning already. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack, especially on shady slopes above approximately 2200 m, and on sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. On Saturday the wind will be strong in the vicinity of peaks. The wind will transport only a little snow.

On Sunday the wind will be strong in some cases in some regions. Increase in danger of wet avalanches in the course of the day.
