Stubai Alps Central

Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and wind. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of new snow and wind. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong wind from northerly directions, rather small wind slabs will form in the course of the day. These can be released by a single winter sport participant. This applies in particular on near-ridge shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can be released by individual winter sport participants. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep, little used west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized.

Up to 10 cm of snow will fall. The new snow will be deposited on soft layers on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on little used west, north and east facing slopes. This applies above approximately 2200 m. West, south and east facing slopes below approximately 2400 m: The new snow will be deposited on a crust. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at intermediate altitudes. Below the tree line only a little snow is now lying.

Hardly any change in avalanche danger.
