Bregenzerwald Mountains

Beware snowdrifts. Gliding snow problem persists. Loose-snow avalanches increasing.

Also Monday will be very sunny and very mild. Gliding snow activity will increase again, also loose-snow avalanches. The danger of dry-snow avalanches will decrease.

The latest round of snowfall has settled, up to intermediate altitudes it has bonded with the old snowpack. At high altitudes this process takes longer. Gusty winds were moderate, small snowdrift accumulations were generated. These and the fresh snow are often prone to triggering. At intermediate altitudes the snowpack is moist down to the ground, despite dropping temperatures. Gliding movements continue to be possible.

Nocturnal hours: dry and clear. Sunday: Very sunny and mild, only few thin cloudbanks. Zero-degree level will ascend to 3300 m. At 2000 m: -2 to +8 degree. Moderate to light N/Nw winds.

Beware snowdrifts. Gliding snow problem persists. Loose-snow avalanches increasing.

Avalanche danger is moderate. Fresh snow and with ascending altitude increasingly large snowdrift accumulations can trigger a small-to-medium slab avalanche. Danger zones occur on steep ridgeline slopes and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow, also the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall need to be considered. More loose-snow avalanches can be expected due to higher temperatures. In steep terrain, forest lands and on grassy slopes, glide-snow avalanches can be expected in all aspects, reaching small-to-medium size. At low altitudes the snowpack has deteriorated.
