Bernhard Anwander Translated by Jeffrey McCabe Mostly favourable morning conditions. Slight rise in danger on south-facing slopes. 2021-03-01T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-02T07:30:00+01:00 1 2021-03-01T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-02T07:30:00+01:00 1 2021-03-01T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-02T07:30:00+01:00 1 2021-03-01T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-02T07:30:00+01:00 1 2021-03-01T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-02T07:30:00+01:00 1 2021-03-01T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-02T07:30:00+01:00 1 2021-03-01T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-02T07:30:00+01:00 1 gliding snow 2400 and wet-snow on steep sunny slopes old snow 2000 extremely steep slopes Alpine weather forecast (ZAMG-Weather Service Innsbruck) Unperturbed weather, moderate temperatures, little wind, overall excellent conditions. Following a night of clear skies, the melt-freeze crust can bear loads, the dry air slows down the softening of the snowpack. Cloudless skies on Monday night. Temperature at 2000 m: +4 degrees. Light E/NE winds. Snow cover / General info The snowpack is well consolidated and generally stable up to high altitudes following a night of clear skies. As a result of solar radiation and daytime warming, it then loses its firmness, especially on sunny slopes and at low/ intermediate altitudes. Due to the dryness of the air, only slight softening of the snowpack is expected. With ascending altitude, older snowdrifts and small fresh snowdrifts are still prone to triggering in places. Powder exists only in high-altitude shady and wind-protected terrain. Otherwise, breakable wind crusts and, on sunny slopes, melt-freeze crusts dominate. Avalanche danger assessment During the morning hours generally favourable conditions reign, danger is low. Starting at midday, small to medium-sized wet-snow and glide snow avalanches are possible below 2400 m on sunny slopes, below intermediate altitudes on shady slopes. Glide-snow avalanches can release at any time of day or night. Caution below glide cracks. Backcountry tours should be launched early, terminated early. Especially in extremely steep shady terrain, isolated slab avalanches can be triggered by large additional loading in transitions from shallow to deep snow. At high altitudes, small fresh snowdrifts are prone to triggering. Caution: risks of falling and being swept along.
