Visibility is expected to gradually improve, fogbanks and clouds slowly disperse. But it will remain wintery cold: at 2000m, -6 degrees, at 3000m -15 degrees. Moderate to brisk westerly winds, blowing at strong velocity this morning. Snow Layering Since yesterday afternoon there has been another 10-25 cm of fresh fallen snow registered in the mountains of Tirol, amidst wintery temperatures and intermittently strong W/NW winds, thus whipping up and transporting the new fallen snow and forming new snowdrift accumulations. Potential bed surfaces for fracturing avalanches are currently found in the loose, cold powder, especially behind terrain protruberances on leeward slopes. These drifts are particularly prone to triggering, especially at high altitudes, as yesterday’s artifical triggerings demonstrated. The old snowpack base, on the other hand, is generally stable. Avalanche Danger Wintery conditions in Tirol’s mountains, considerable avalanche danger from region to region above 2400m; below that altitude danger is moderate; below the treeline danger is low. The main hazard remains the freshly drifted snow. Avalanche prone locations are found primarily in very steep ridgeline, leeward terrain and in very steep gullies and bowls. The rule of thumb: trigger-sensitivity increases with ascending altitude, since the drifts become ever more brittle. Frequency and depth of the drifted masses also tend to increase with ascending altitude. With backcountry experience, these danger zones are easy to spot and circumvent. Clouds are expected to disperse somewhat over the course of the day, some sunshine is anticipated; that means more frequent spontaneous loose-snow avalanches in rocky terrain.
