In the afternoon, a few clouds in the Hohe Tauern. In evening and during the nighttime hours, clouds will become denser. Easterly winds will be blowing at light to moderate velocity (35 km/hr). At 1000m: 0 degrees in later afternoon; at 2000m: -4 degrees; at 3000m: -6 degrees. Source: GeoSphere Austria Caution: weak layers in old snowpack Avalanches can be triggered in the weak layers by one sole skier in some places, and grow to medium size. Danger zones occur mostly in transitions from shallow to deeper snow, e.g. at entry points into gullies and bowls, and on very steep shady slopes. Danger zones and likelihood of triggering tend to increase with ascending altitude. Isolated whumpf noises can indicate imminent danger. On extremely steep sunny slopes, small wet-slides are possible as a result of the daytime warming and solar radiation. The snowpack is highly diverse over small areas. Shady slopes above 1900m: inside the snowpack are faceted expansively metamorphosed weak layers. Very steep sunny slopes below 2600m: due to higher temperatures and solar radiation, a crust forms on the surface. Weather conditions are moistening the snowpack. Weak layers in the old snowpack demand caution 2025-02-06T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-02-06T16:00:00Z 2025-02-07T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 steady 2025-02-07T16:00:00Z 2025-02-08T16:00:00Z On Thursday, the high-pressure front conditions will continue, mostly sunshine will prevail.

Source: GeoSphere Austria Avalanches hardly possible Weak layers can trigger in transitions into gullies and bowls in very isolated cases, releases small, particularly on NW/N/NE facing slopes above 2000m, generally triggerable only by large additional loading. Very little snow on the ground. Below 1600 m hardly any snow on the ground. Shady slopes above 2000m: in lower part of snowpack faceted weak layers. No significant change in avalanche danger levels expected
