Savinja Alps and Carinthia

Weak layers persist deep in the snowpack

Weak layers persist deep in the snowpack

The problem is the weak layers in the snowpack, which are deeper in the snowpack. If the load exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the deeper Weak layers, a deep and large avalanche can be triggered. There are many such weak layers, especially on axis above the forest. Small wet snow avalanches are possible during the day on sunny slopes.

In high alpine regions, there is a crust on the surface, and the snow layers are mostly well connected. The Crust supports the skier's weight. In the old snow cover, several weak layers of shreds and sheared grains occur deep below the surface. On Saturday it snowed lightly, with up to 5 cm of New fallen snow.

Variable to mainly cloudy, with occasional fog. Possible to have some showers. Mostly weak southeasterly winds. Temperatures will be around 3 °C at 1500 m and -5 °C at 2500 m.

On Monday, it will start snowing. The snowfall level will be around 1700 m and 20-30 cm of New fallen snow may fall. The danger of avalanches will increase.
