Avalanche Activity
Few danger zones in extremely steep terrain
Avalanche danger is LOW, only very few small danger zones exist. On the one hand, due to the weak old snowpack fundament from which naturally triggered avalanches are possible in extremely steep terrain, on the other through fresh snowdrift accumulations in extremely steep ridgeline terrain and in gullies where avalanches can be triggered by large additional loading.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack is thoroughly wet and 0° isotherm up to high altitudes and weakened at ground level by expansively metamorphosed snow. The small amount of fresh snow from last week has settled and become encrusted. In exposed terrain there are fresh drifts deposited by W/N winds.
Weather Synopsis
On Tuesday, adequate visibility, mostly sunshine. The northerly winds will be brisk to strong, on peaks and ridges of the Tauern and Nockberge reaching 50 km/hr. At 2000 m: -11 degrees; at 3000 m: -13 degrees.
Tendency
On Wednesday no significant change expected. Cold. Sunshine. Winds will not disturb.
