Avalanche Activity

Beware wet snow

Wet-snow avalanches are small but can be triggered even by one sole skier in isolated cases, esp. at the foot of rock walls along the Italian border following nights of overcast skies. Especially in summit zones, isolated small wet loose-snowslides are possible. Due to rainfall, the likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering will increase somewhat. Many starting zones are already discharged completely.

Snowpack Structure

Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation is quite good, the snowpack surface freezes enough to be capable of bearing loads. Weather conditions are stabilising the snowdrift accumulations. Below 1800m hardly any snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

On Monday, mostly sunny weather, with intermittent limitations in visibility through fog/clouds, later on through convective cloud build-up. In the afternoon, some convective clouds shrouding the summits. It will remain mostly dry. Light to moderate SE winds. At 2000m: 5 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria
