Further to the south it will be sunnier. Moderate to brisk westerly winds. Avalanche danger is not expected to change significantly. Bernhard Anwander Translated by Jeffrey McCabe Moderate danger due to fresh snow+wind. Beware high-altitude fresh snowdrifts. 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 2 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 1 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 2 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 1 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 2 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 1 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 2 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 1 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 2 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 1 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 2 2021-03-06T07:30:00+01:00 2021-03-07T07:30:00+01:00 2000 1 drifting snow 2000 steep ridgeline terrain, gullies, bowls Alpine weather forecast (ZAMG-Weather Service Innsbruck) Once the residual fog at intermediate altitudes disperses, dry, sunny weather will set in. Temperatures will rise. At 2000 m: -8 to -3 degrees. Light winds from varying directions. Snow cover / General info Since Thursday night there has been 10-20 cm of fresh snow registered, 25 cm in Allgau Alps and on Tannberg. The fresh snow was transported by moderate-to-brisk W/NW winds. Last night in Arlberg and Klostertal regions, strong easterly winds generated fresh, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations. The fresh snow and drifts were deposited atop a hard, rough (thus, favourable) old snowpack surface. Only on high altitude shady, wind-protected slopes was it deposited on loose, faceted crystals. The drifts in these areas are particularly prone to triggering. Fresh snow which was blanketed over by drifts is also trigger-sensitive. Avalanche danger assessment Moderate avalanche danger prevails above 2000 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. The situation in wind-protected zones is more favourable (except for high-altitude shady steep slopes). As a result of solar radiation, small-to-medium loose-snow avalanches can be triggered naturally in steep rocky terrain. In extremely steep shady terrain above 2200 m, very isolated triggerings of slab avalanches are possible in deeper layers of the snowpack by large additional loading, particularly in transitions from shallow to deep snow.
