Danger level


Avalanche Problem
No distinct avalanche problem


Low avalanche danger! Hardly any new fallen snow!

The avalanche risk between the Totes Gebirge and the Schladminger Tauern is assessed as low. Isolated avalanche prone locations can be found in extremely steep gullies above 2400 metres in the northern sector. The old snowpack is only covered by a few centimetres of new fallen snow. The danger of falling is more dominant than the danger of avalanches!

Snowpack

The snowpack surface is mostly hard and icy, with sunny slopes up to over 2000 metres above sea level. There will be a maximum of 5 cm of new fallen snow on Wednesday. Below the melting snow crust, the kinetic metamorphism is weakening the snow layering on the northern sides.

Tendency

The avalanche danger remains low.


Danger level


Avalanche Problem
New snow


New fallen snow! However, the avalanche danger remains low.

With the new fallen snow, the avalanche risk increases slightly during the daytime changes. Sporadic loose snow avalanches may occur in a few places in gullies or bowls. The avalanches remain small due to the low snow depths.

Snowpack

Before the snowfall, there was only a little snow on the mountains. Only in shady gullies or bowls could some persistent weak layer remain. By Wednesday evening, 10 to 20 cm of new fallen snow will have fallen on top of this, 0 to 40 cm at higher altitudes, which will only just bond with the old snowpack.

Tendency

The avalanche danger changes only slightly.
