Fresh snowdrifts remain the main danger. As a consequence of solar radiation, mostly small loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Bernhard Anwander Translated by Jeffrey McCabe Moderate danger due to fresh snow+wind. Beware fresh snowdrifts. 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 2 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 1 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 2 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 1 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 2 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 1 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 2 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 1 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 2 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 1 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 2 2021-03-05T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 1800 1 drifting snow 1800 steep ridgeline terrain, gullies, bowls Alpine weather forecast (ZAMG-Weather Service Innsbruck) Gray skies in all mountain ranges, with intermittent light snowfall, correspondingly poor visibility. Temperatures will drop further. At 2000 m: from -4 to -8 degrees. Moderate to brisk W/NW winds. Snow cover / General info Last night there was up to 10 cm of fresh snow registered, more from place to place. The fallen snow was transported by moderate-to-strong NW winds. An additional 10 cm is expected during the daytime today, accompanied by brisk winds. Both fresh snow and fresh snowdrifts are being deposited atop a hard, rough (and thus, favourable) snowpack surface. Only on high altitude shady, wind-protected slopes will it be deposited on loose, faceted crystals. The drifts in these areas (expected to be smallish) are prone to triggering. Fresh snow which gets blanketed over by drifts is also trigger-sensitive. As temperatures drop, the risks of glide-snow avalanches have receded. Avalanche danger assessment Moderate avalanche danger prevails above 1800 m. The major threat stems from freshly generated snowdrifts. Avalanche prone locations occur primarily in steep ridgeline terrain, in gullies and bowls. Small slabs can be triggered by one single skier. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow, the risks of being forced to take a fall or getting swept along require caution. Below 2000 m on very steep smooth south-facing slopes, only isolated glide-snow avalanches are likely to trigger in zones which have not yet discharged. Caution below glide cracks! In extremely steep shady terrain, isolated slab avalanches can be triggered by large additional loading, particularly in transitions from shallow to deep snow.
