Danger level
Danger Level 3 - Considerable
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 1800m, 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 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.
Gliding avalanches: In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation there will be a gradual increase in the danger of gliding avalanches, in particular on steep south facing slopes below approximately 2000 m.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow, and up to 50 cm in some localities, will fall. The sometimes strong wind will transport the fresh snow. The fresh snow and wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers in all aspects. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes.
Tendency
Slight decrease in avalanche danger as a consequence of the ceasing of precipitation.

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.
