In addition, light snowfall regionally. Only the highest summits of the Tauern will be free of fog. In the afternoon hours, clouds will slowly disperse, but visibility remain limited. At 1000üm: 0 degrees; at 2000üm: -3 degrees; at 3000m: -8 degrees. Moderate, at high altitudes often strong-velocity SW winds. Source: GeoSphere Austria Main danger: weak layers in old snowpack Avalanches can be treiggered even by one sole skier, esp. on shady wind-protected slopes. Isolated danger zones occur also on sunny slopes which are little skied on in high alpine terrain, in isolated cases releases can grow to large size. Remote triggerings are possible, particularly treacherous are the foot of rock walls. A defensive route selection is important. In addition, on wind-loaded slopes, surface layers can be triggered in some places, the releases mostly small but easily triggered. In the major areas of precipitation, isolated and mostly small glide-snow avalanches are possible. Shady wind-protected slopes above 2400m: in the lower part of the old snowpack there are faceted expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident. On shady slopes where the snow is rather shallow above 1800m: fresh snow and drifts blanket a weak old snowpack. Shady slopes below 1800m: the fresh snow lies atop a hardened crust. Little change is expected in avalanche danger levels 2025-01-31T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-31T16:00:00Z 2025-02-01T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP4 old snow steady 2025-02-01T16:00:00Z 2025-02-02T16:00:00Z Saturday will be heavily cloudy until after midday, most of the summits shrouded in fog.

Source: GeoSphere Austria Caution: weak layers in old snowpack Avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier in some places, particularly on shady wind-protected slopes in zones. Danger zones and likelihood of triggering tned to increase with ascending altitude. Avalanches can grow to medium size. In addition, in places avalanches can be triggered in the surface layers, releases usually small but easily triggerable. Snowfall (5-10cm) is expected, locally more. The SW winds will transport the fresh snow. On shady slopes above 1800m: snowdrift accumulations are often poorly bonded with the old snowpack. In the lower part of the snowpack there are faceted expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident. On shady slopes below 1800m: weather conditions are consolidating the snowpack during the nocturnal hours. The fresh snow lies deposited atop a hardened crust. No significant change in avalanche danger levels anticipated 2025-01-31T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-01-31T16:00:00Z 2025-02-01T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2025-02-01T16:00:00Z 2025-02-02T16:00:00Z Saturday will be heavily cloudy until after midday, most of the summits shrouded in fog.

Source: GeoSphere Austria Very little snow on the ground Avalanches hardly possible Rainfall led to the snowpack becoming massively wet in all aspected over widespread areas. There is little snow on the ground.

Source: GeoSphere Austria Isolated danger zones occur on NW/N/NE facing slopes above 1800m Due to fresh snow and SW winds, small snowdrift accumulations have been generated in gullies and bowls. Isolated danger zones occuron NW/N/NE facing slopes above 1800m. Some snowfall is anticipated. The SW winds will transport the fresh fallen snow. Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations will be deposited on NW/N/NE facing slopes above 1800m atop soft layewrs. Below 1600m there is hardly any snow on the ground. No significant change in avalanche danger levels anticipated
