Pay close heed to gliding snow

Pay close heed to gliding snow

Avalanche danger is low. There is still latent danger of glide-snow avalanches, most releases medium-sized, occasionally larger.Small snowdrift accumulations can in a few places trigger by minimum additional loading. The danger of falling outweighs that of snow masses.

Snowdrift accumulations remain small due to insufficient snow. At intermediate altitudes the snowpack has become moist repeated times and is very compact. Below 1400 m there is hardly any snow on the ground.

Frequent snowfall from heavy clouds. By early morning there will be a bit of of fresh snow, then an additional 5-15 cm during the daytime, transported by winds and deposited highly irregularly. Snowfall level at 1000-1200 m, above 1400 m the snow will persist on the ground. In exposed Tauern zones, NW winds will reach speeds of 80 km/hr. At 2000 m: -3 degrees.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
