Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, occasional small wet snow slides possible

The avalanche risk is low. Small wet snow slides can occur occasionally in all aspects, especially from multiple starting zones that have not yet been fully discharged. The risk of entrainment in the fall terrain outweighs the risk of burial.

Snowpack Structure

The thin snowpack can consolidate overnight and quickly softens again during the day. There is only a little snow left and the sunny slopes are usually already snowed out.

Weather Forecast

The night will be dry and mostly clear and on Saturday it will initially be very sunny again in the Styrian mountains. Some spring clouds will form from midday, but the tendency to shower will remain low. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres will be between +3 and +7 degrees. Weak to moderate winds from the north.

Tendency

A weak cold front will move through on Sunday, with a rising north-westerly wind leading to showers with a snowfall level above 2000 metres. The avalanche danger remains low.
