Forecasts vary widely as to just how much moist air will be pushed into North Tirol. Mountain weather today: fine conditions in the mountains, only a few high altitude clouds over the western sector of the Main Ridge and between Brenta and Ortler, but still lots of sunshine. Cloud will be denser in the southeast. Temperatures: wintery cold, at 2000 m -5 degrees; at 3000m, -7 degrees. Initially brisk E/NE winds, slackening off later on. Snow Layering On Wednesday, as a result of brisk to strong southerly foehn winds, fresh snowdrift masses accumulated above 2400m. These snowdrifts were deposited for the most part on top of loosely-packed new fallen snow, thus the trigger-sensitivity is quite high. Yesterday, winds shifted to northeasterly, blew at moderate strength, again forming (small) drifts in high alpine regions. Particularly in the inneralpine backcountry touring regions and along the Main Alpine Ridge, the poor snow layering is a threat: the fundament is often riddled with layers of faceted snow crystals. Isolated settling noises ("whumpf"), shooting cracks and released avalanches underscore the threat repeatedly. On sun-drenched slopes, the snowpack will forfeit some firmness during the course of the day. Avalanche Danger Avalanche danger in Tirol’s backcountry touring regions is predominantly moderate; above 2400m from area to area it is considerable. The major peril stems from snowdrift accumulations which were formed by Wednesday’s foehn wind. These drifted masses are often inadequately bonded with the snowpack beneath them, thus can trigger even by minimum additional loading. In isolated cases, avalanches can fracture down to more deeply embedded layers and grow to large size, particularly risky in those regions where the snow structure is poor, e.g. inneralpine regions and along the Main Alpine Ridge. Avalanche prone locations are found in ridgeline terrain in all aspects above 2400m; on steep, shady slopes; in transitions from deep to shallow snow. On sun-drenched slopes below 2600m, isolated naturally triggered loose-snow avalanches are possible as of late morning; in East Tirol also gliding avalanches.
