Avalanche Activity

Beware wet snow

Naturally triggered wet-snow avalanches will increase with the daytime danger cycle. Wet-snow avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts and grow to medium size. These avalanche prone locations are located particularly on very steep high-altitude slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter, leading to a loss of firmness inside the snowpack, resulting to loss of snowpack firmness. Many starting zones have already completely dishcharged. Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation hardly exists. The snowpack surface can barely freeze and softens rapidly. The snowpack is thoroughly wet. On steep sunny slopes below 1600m, hardly any snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

Due to intensifying SW winds, clouds will accumulate in the Carnic Alps and limit visibility, but it will remain dry. Winds will be moderate to strong from the southwest, 20-40 km/hr. At 1000m: +17 degrees; at 2000m: +6 6o +9 degrees. Source: GeoSource Austria
