Bregenzerwald Mountains

Predominantly favorable conditions

Due to daytime warmth, slides and small loose-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated danger zones occur esp. in ridgeline terrain, on shady steep slopes and in extremely steep terrain. One sole skier can trigger a small-to-medium loose-snow or slab avalanche. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate caution. On steep grass-covered slopes with sufficient snow on the ground or atop smooth ground, isolated small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are possible. In rocky terrain, slides and small loose-snow avalanches are possible.

High-altitude shady slopes have small snowdrifts atop often faceted weak soft layers, bonding is often inadequate. At night a breakable crust forms, sometimes capable of bearing loads. On steep north-facing slopes, there is still powder. The old snowpack is well consolidated. On sunny slopes and at lower altitudes the fresh snow will fall on bare ground, the snow is often moist

Clear nighttime skies and cold. On Thursday, sunshine all day, only a few thin clouds above summit level. Low air moisture, excellent visibility in high-alpine regions. At 2000m 0 to +4 degrees. Light S/W winds at high altitudes.
