Fischbach Alps East, Wechsel

Low avalanche danger, but some danger spots due to weak layers within the old snow below older snowdrift accumulations.

Low Avalanche danger. A few danger spots due snow drift deposits in gullies and bowls. There slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads. Affected areas especially high shady slopes.

In the southern Styrian mountains and easternmost alps the snowcover is still thin. Exposed areas are mainly blown-off and bare or icy. In gullies and bowls the snow cover is a bit thicker. The snow base doesn’t have significant weak layers. In shady high slopes in places faceted snow forms weak layers within the old snow. Despite milde temperatures and sun radiation the snowcover in high altitudes stays dry due to low humidity which prevents melting.

Clear, sunny mountain weather on Friday with excellent visibility. Weak to moderate easterly winds. Temperatures get a bit milder with 4 degrees on 2.000 m.

Avalanche danger stays low.
