Avalanche Activity

Wet-snow problem

Avalanche danger is MODERATE. In very-to-extremely steep terrain, naturally triggered small-to-medium sized avalanches can release, mostly wet-snow, but some dry-snow and loose-snow or glide-snow avalanches. Winter sports enthusiasts can trigger a slab or loose-snow avalanche by large additional loading.

Snowpack Structure

Fresh snow of the last few days, often falling on bare ground, has been able to settle. Most of the snow is moist-to-wet.

Weather Synopsis

Sunday will have reduced visibility, some bright intervals and sunshine as of midday. Minor snowfall is possible. Rainfall up to 1500 m. Winds in the Lungau and along the Main Tauern Ridge will be northerly, up to 50 km/hr. At 2000 m: -3 degrees.

Tendency

As temperatures rise on Monday, the snowdrift problem will recede, the wet-snow problem will come to the foreground.
