Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Fresh wind slabs are only small but can be released in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 2000 m. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. On steep grassy slopes individual small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.

10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The wind will be strong in some cases. As a consequence of new snow and wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in isolated cases. They are lying on soft layers above approximately 2000 m. The old snowpack is moist and its surface has a resilient melt-freeze crust. This applies on sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2600 m. Below approximately 1800 m only a little snow is lying.

Slight increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. The fresh wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering. Individual gliding avalanches are possible.
