Danger level

Low avalanche danger, isolated avalanche prone locations in shady slopes

The avalanche danger is low. In extremely steep shady slopes above the tree line, small slab avalanches cannot be completely ruled out. The risk of injury and falling generally outweighs the risk of burial. Take particular care in the hardness or icy entrance areas to steep gullies.

Snowpack

The snow surface is crusted can form and hard, during the day it only softens a little on extremely steep slopes on the sunny slopes. The snow base, fundament is mostly set and compact, but due to the moisture input of the past few days, it can still be damp up to the higher elevations. In extremely steep shady slopes, the snow base, fundament can be weakened by angular shapes, but these areas are rare. In general, the snow cover is below average, with often only a few centimetres of snow covering the ground below the tree line.

Tendency

The avalanche risk remains low. With a slight foehn tendency, temperatures will remain positive in the Ybbstal Alps for the time being. It will be slightly cooler in the Schneeberg and Rax areas.
