Danger level
Danger Level 3 - Considerable above the treeline
Danger Level 2 - Moderate above the treeline
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
New snow, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
As a consequence of fresh snow and wind a sometimes critical avalanche situation will be encountered in some regions.
Wind slabs: As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong northerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form above the tree line, in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions in all aspects. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily, including large ones. A few natural avalanches are to be expected, in the regions exposed to a lot of wind in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation and.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
Over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall, especially in the Lienzer Dolomites. The sometimes strong wind will transport the fresh snow. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.
Tendency
Slight decrease in avalanche danger as a consequence of the ceasing of precipitation.

As a consequence of fresh snow and wind a sometimes critical avalanche situation will be encountered in some regions.
Wind slabs: As a consequence of fresh snow and a strong northwesterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form above the tree line, in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions in all aspects.

Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-NW
Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.
As a consequence of fresh snow and a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form above the tree line. They can be released even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in northwest to north to east facing aspects. At elevated altitudes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. In the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 3 (considerable) and in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation the avalanche danger is higher.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The wind slabs of the last few days have bonded well with the old snowpack in all aspects. Over a wide area 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The sometimes strong wind will transport the fresh snow. As the day progresses brittle wind slabs will form especially in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation.
Tendency
Gradual decrease in avalanche danger as the snowfall eases.
