Fresh snowdrift accumulations are mostly small, triggerable only in isolated cases, esp. on wind-protected shady slopes at high altitude. Caution urged in transitions into gullies and bowls. These danger zones occur seldom. Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations have been deposited on top of an unfavorable old snowpack surface.

Heed drifts. Weak layers in the old snow can be triggered in many cases by one sole skier on W/N/E facing slopes above 2400m. Caution in transitions from shallow to deeper snow, e.g. at entry points into gullies and bowls. Due to fresh snow and northerly winds, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations were generated in gullies, bowls and behind protruberances in the landscape. They can be triggered by one sole skier in the weak old snow, esp. on W/N/E facing slopes above 2400m. Danger zones are easy to recognize for the practiced eye. Avalanches can reach medium size. In the lowermost part of the snowpack there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers, esp. on W/N/E facing slopes. The fresh snowdrift accumulations lie deposited atop an unfavorable old snowpack surface in high-alpine zones. Highly varied snow depths, depending on wind impact. Fresh snowdrifts need to be cautiously assessed. Pay attention to weak layers in old snowpack. steady 2025-02-17T16:00:00Z 2025-02-18T16:00:00Z 2025-02-17 DP6 DP4 2025-02-16T16:00:00Z 2025-02-16T16:00:00Z 2025-02-17T16:00:00Z false Nockberge Southern Nockberge Eastern Karawanken Central Karawanken Central Karnian Alps Goldeck Group Central Gailtal Alps Western Karawanken Eastern Karnian Alps Gailtal Alps West Villacher Alpe low 2000 all_day moderate 2000 all_day persistent_weak_layers 2000 NW N NE all_day slab On Monday, dense clouds or fog initially, sunshine will come out later in the day.
