Avalanche prone locations along the Salzburg border
Isolated mostly small wet-snow avalanches are possible below 2600m, esp. alng the Salzburg border following nights of overcast skies. Due to fresh snow and moderate-velocity winds, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations have been generated over the course of the day which can be triggered by one sole skier, but will be mostly small-sized releases. Caution urged in gullies and bowls and behind protruberances in the terrain along the Salzburg border.Danger zones occur above 2600m. Isolated danger zones occur also on sunny slopes in high-alpine zones.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Due to fresh snow and moderate-to-strong northerly winds, small snowdrift accumulations have been generated, they lie deposited on shady slopes near ridgelines above 2600m atop soft layers. Below 2600m: the old snowpack is wet. The surface can hardly freeze at night and rapidly softens in morning, esp. along the Salzburg border following a night of overcast skies. Below 2200m hardly any snow on the ground.

Beware wet snow
Wet-snow avalanches are small but can be triggered even by one sole skier in isolated cases, esp. at the foot of rock walls along the Italian border following nights of overcast skies. Especially in summit zones, isolated small wet loose-snowslides are possible. Due to rainfall, the likelihood of wet-snow avalanches triggering will increase somewhat. Many starting zones are already discharged completely.

Esp. along the Italian border following a night of overcast skies: the snowpack surface can freeze only superficially and softens rapidly in the morning. Weather conditions are making the snowpack even wetter. Below 1800m hardly any snow on the ground.

Isolated danger zones
Only isolated mostly small wet-snow avalanches are still possible during the course of the day. Caution urged in gulies in the major areas of precipitation. The runout zones should be give great attentiveness.
