Avalanche Activity

Some new snow.

Avalanche danger above 1.800 m moderate and below 1.800 m low. The main problem is fresh snowdrift. Danger spots are located in the north sector above 1.800 m. Small slab avalanches can be triggered by an alpinist in extremely steep slopes. Caution behind ridgelines.

Snowpack Structure

In the last 24 hours it had 15 to 30 cm new snow. The southern winds drifted the new snow to the northern sector. The peak of precipitation was between Turrach heights and Niedere Tauern. In high altitudes the fresh snowdrift is placed on top of a hard old snow cover or on top of faceted snow. In medium altitudes the snow is on top of meadows.

Weather Forecast

On Saturday the summits will be foggy. Dense clouds and sometimes little snowfall is possible. In the afternoon rain and snowfall weakens and the snowline increases to 1.500 m. Weak high winds coming from southeast to southwest. Temperatures at noon in 2.000 m are around -2 degrees.

Tendency

No significant change of the avalanche danger is to expect.
