Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Favorable backcountry conditions persist, no significant change in the avalanche situation
Isolated danger zones on north-facing slopes, where the persistent weak layer (more deeply embedded weak layer) prevails. On shady, extremely steep slopes, triggering a slab cannot be ruled out. Glide-snow avalanche activity is increasing.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack is stable. Due to minor rainfall the snowpack surface is moist down to intermediate altitudes. The base is still stable. On extremely steep shady slopes above 2200 m, weak layers of faceted crystals are making the snowpack layering vulnerable.
Weather Synopsis
On Monday the radiantly sunny weather will continue, with outstanding visibility. Only light to moderate SE winds. Windspeeds maximum 20-40 km/hr. Somewhat warmer. At 2000 m: -1 degree on the Dachstein, -3 degrees on the Koralm. On Tuesday, sunny and mild.
Tendency
No significant change in avalanche danger is anticipated. Slight daytime danger cycle is expected.
