At 1000m: -4 degrees; at 2000m: -8 degrees. Light to moderate NW winds, strong in exposed terrain. Source: GeoSphere Austria Heed fresh snowdrifts. Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls. 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. Pay attention to fresh snowdrifts 2025-02-16T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-02-16T16:00:00Z 2025-02-17T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP6 DP4 old snow drifting snow steady 2025-02-17T16:00:00Z 2025-02-18T16:00:00Z On Monday, dense clouds or fog initially, sunshine will come out later in the day. At 1000m: -4 degrees; at 2000m: -8 degrees; at 3000m: -13 degrees. Light to moderate NW winds, strong in exposed terrain. Source: GeoSphere Austria Caution: isolated weak layers prone to triggering. 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. 2025-02-16T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2025-02-16T16:00:00Z 2025-02-17T16:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP1 DP4 old snow steady 2025-02-17T16:00:00Z 2025-02-18T16:00:00Z On Monday, dense clouds or fog initially, sunshine will come out later in the day.

Due to fresh snow and northerly winds, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations were generated in gullies, bowls and behind protruberances in the landscape. Avalanches can reach medium size. At mid-level inside the snowpack, esp. on N/NW/NE facing slopes where the snow is shallow, faceted, espansively metamorphosed weak layers are evident. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas.
