Regions
Western Lechtal Alps, Western Verwall Mountains, Gurgler Range, Central Stubai Alps, Northern Zillertal Alps, Silvretta, Venediger Range
Danger level
Danger Level 2 - Moderate above 2200m
Danger Level 1 - Low above 2200m
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-NW
Wind slabs at high altitude.
As a consequence of fresh snow and a sometimes strong wind from westerly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form as the day progresses. The somewhat older wind slabs of the last few days remain in some cases prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases. 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 wind slabs of the last few days have settled a little. 10 to 15 cm of snow. will fall until the early morning above approximately 1000 m. The westerly wind will transport the snow. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted over a wide area.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
