Danger level

Be aware of the risk of falling on partly icy ridgelines and on shady slopes.

The avalanche risk is low. In below-average snow conditions, there are only individual avalanche prone locations in extremely steep, on shady slopes above the tree line. Small slab avalanches can be triggered here, especially under high additional load. The risk of falling in steep gullies and in steep, partly icy areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit is higher than the risk of burial.

Snowpack

The snowpack is well below average for the time of year. In sunny slopes, it is mostly bare beyond the tree line. On shady slopes, the thin snow surface is crusted can form and hard, sometimes icy. At higher altitudes it is mostly blown off, only in areas sheltered from the wind is there a little more snow. In extremely steep gullies on shady slopes, angular shapes can weaken the snow base, fundament. Above this, however, there is usually only a little snow.

Tendency

The avalanche danger remains the same. Clouds and sunshine will alternate on Saturday, and a few snowflakes could fall from the sky in the Semmering and Rax areas. On Sunday, the clouds will quickly clear, the peaks will be covered in fog and at least a few centimetres of new fallen snow will fall in the evening and during the night into Monday. The detailed forecast is still uncertain.
