Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations are small-sized yet still often prone to triggering, particularly in gullies and bowls along the Salzburg border, such danger zones are easy to recognize. Avalanches can in isolated cases fracture down to more deeply embedded layers in the old snopwack and then grow to medium size. On shady slopes and in high alpine zones the likelihood of triggering is higher. Caution urged especially in seldom-skied terrain. Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations lie deposited particularly above 2400m were depositedon W/N/E facing slopes. More deeply embedded inside the old snowpack are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers, esp. on shady wind-protected slopes. Clear skies are forecast, with low temperatures and low air moisture. Thus, the snowpack will expansively metamorphose during the nocturnal hours. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas.
