Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow masses

Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow masses

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated small loose-snow naturally triggered avalanches are possible or can be triggered by one sole skier. Danger zones for small slab avalanches in the snowdrifts occur seldom on very steep N/E facing slopes at high altitudes. On steep grass-covered slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible.

Atop a shallow, generally stable snowpack, which at intermediate altitudes is already 0 degrees isotherem and on sunny slopes at high altitudes has melt-freeze forms, about 5-15 cm of fresh snow will fall, without much wind impact.

During the nighttime hours, dense clouds. Southerly winds will slacken off significantly. From the south, snowfall will set in. On Friday morning, poor visibility, in afternoon often dry and clouds beginning to disperse. Fresh fallen snow: about 10cm up to 20cm on the Carinthian border (Glockner Massif as far as Nockberge). The northerly winds will remain light. At 2000m: -3 degrees; at 3000m: -8 degrees.

Repeated bouts of fresh snowfall, little wind influence.
