Up to 30 cm of new fallen snow, but the avalanche danger remains low.
The avalanche risk is low. Nevertheless, small, spontaneous loose snow avalanches can be expected from steep terrain as the weather warms up and the sun shines.
Snowpack
Up to 30 cm of new fallen snow has fallen in the Koralpe area since Wednesday. The new fallen snow only covers hard persistent weak layers in shady gullies and bowls above the tree line in the northern sector, otherwise it fell on apery ground.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will remain low over the next few days.

Very little snow, low avalanche danger.
The avalanche danger is generally low. Avalanche prone locations can be found at high altitudes in extremely steep gullies in the northern sector, where small slab avalanches can occasionally be triggered by large additional loads. The danger of falling dominates over the danger of avalanches!
Snowpack
The snow surface is mostly hard and icy, with slopes up to over 2000 metres above sea level on sunny slopes. A few centimetres of new fallen snow were added on Wednesday. Below the melting snow crust, kinetic metamorphism is weakening the snow layering on the northern sides.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will remain low in the coming days.
