Avalanche Activity

Beware snowdrifts in ridgeline and pass areas along the Italian border

Due to fresh snow and moderate-velocity winds, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations will be generated over the course of the day which can be triggered by one sole skier, but will be mostly small-sized releases. Caution urged in ridgeline and pass areas along the Italian border in the regions where there was snowfall. Below 2300m: wet-snow avalanches will be small but in isolated cases are triggerable by winter sports enthusiasts, esp. at the foot of rock walls. along the Italian border, following a night of cloudy skies.

Snowpack Structure

Above 2200m up to 15cm of fresh snow expected, locally more. Shady slopes along the Italian border: fresh snowdrift accumulations occur above 2300m and lie atop soft layers. The old snowpack is wet. Below 1800m hardly any snow on the ground.

On. Friday, gloomy weather. Clouds will be dense all day long, many peaks will be shrouded in fog, esp. during the morning hours rainfall and snow showers can be expected. In the afternoon, the tendency towards precipitation will slacken off. Moderate northerly wind. At 2000m: 0 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
