Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW

Wet avalanches are the main danger.

As a consequence of the moist air more mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m. This also applies on sunny slopes at high altitude, in the event of solar radiation especially in the regions exposed to precipitation and. Caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep slopes.
In addition a certain danger of wet slab avalanches exists, in particular on very steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line.

As a consequence of fresh snow and a light to moderate wind, small wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2800 m. The fresh wind slabs are shallow but can in some cases be released easily. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Snowpack

dp 3: rain
dp 1: deep persistent weak layer

Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the early morning. Rain below approximately 1800 m. The fresh snow is bonding quite well with the old snowpack. The wind will transport only a little snow. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack on shady slopes. Here individual wet slab avalanches are possible as the penetration by moisture increases. This applies especially in areas close to the tree line. The snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

The avalanche conditions remain quite favourable.

Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW

Wet and gliding avalanches are the main danger.

As a consequence of the moist air more small to medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m. This also applies on sunny slopes at high altitude, in the event of solar radiation especially in the regions exposed to precipitation and. Caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep slopes.

As a consequence of fresh snow and a light to moderate wind, small wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2800 m. The wind slabs are shallow but can in some cases be released easily. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2200 m.

Snowpack

dp 3: rain
dp 2: gliding snow

Over a wide area 5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until the early morning, especially south of the Inn. Rain below approximately 1800 m. The fresh snow is bonding quite well with the old snowpack. The wind will transport only a little snow. The snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

The avalanche conditions remain generally favourable.
