It will remain sunny in the mountains, accompanied by unpleasant winds, outstanding visibility and dry air. Temperature at 2000m: -7 degrees; at 3000m, -12 degrees. NW winds will be light, blowing at moderate strength in ridgeline areas. Snow Layering The extremely trigger-sensitive snowpack, especially in W/NW to N to E/NE aspects above about 2000m, is slowly stabilising. Settling noises, shooting cracks and remote triggerings, frequent in the early part of the week, have become more seldom. Nevertheless, the snowpack in its lowermost layers near the ground is riddled with faceted snow crystals and highly prone to triggering. These weak layers are evident over widespread areas, which means avalanches can attain large size. Freshly formed drifts also require caution, on very steep, wind-protected slopes they can release easily where they were deposited atop loose, cold powder. Avalanche Danger Above 2000m, considerable danger prevails widespread; below that altitude, moderate danger. The situation in eastern regions and in southern East Tirol is better. The major peril still stems from the extremely weak layer near the ground, increasingly found in W/NW to N to E/NE aspects above about 2000m, in the furthermost western regions above about 2200m. In steep terrain, even minimum additional loading is sufficient to unleash a slab avalanche. This old-snow problem is currently more striking in the Stubai, Ötztal and Tux Alps than elsewhere. In addition, the freshly formed snowdrift accumulations still require great caution above the treeline, their number and spread increase with ascending altitude, particularly near ridgelines in NE to E to S aspects, as well as in general in gullies, bowls and behind terrain protruberances. In the western regions where snowfall has been heaviest, furthermore, gliding avalanches are possible on steep, grass-covered slopes. Circumvent all areas below glide cracks!
