Kaiser Mountains - Waidring Alps

Mostly small loose snow avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of solar radiation.

Mostly small loose snow avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of solar radiation.

As a consequence of solar radiation, the natural activity of small loose snow avalanches will increase. This applies on extremely steep slopes. As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind from variable directions, wind slabs formed. These can in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. At elevated altitudes the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase. These avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines at high altitude.

Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. The wind was strong in some cases. The wind slabs are lying on soft layers.

The backcountry touring conditions are generally favourable.
