Sunshine all day long, relatively mild temperatures this afternoon between 1000 and 1500m. Temperature at 2000m: -7 to -2 degrees; at 3000m: -7 degrees. Light to moderate S/SE winds, brisker in the classic foehn-influenced mountains. Snow Layering Snowpack analysis reveals a highly varied picture, extremely dependent on altitude and wind-exposure. Where there was no snow at the new year, the snowpack is generally compact, i.e. below 1900m in all aspects. With ascending altitude the old snow problem takes hold, particularly threatening on shady slopes. As of 2300m the problem also takes hold in other aspects. Inside the old snowpack are many old crusts between which lurk layers of faceted-crystal snow. Stability tests have shown a high likelihood of triggering. Avalanche Danger Above 1900m considerable danger prevails, below that altitude moderate, often low. The combination of beautiful weather, some powder snow and an extremely trigger-sensitive snowpack promise a day full of avalanche accidents. The main problem lies in the delicate old snow which begins on shady slopes as of 1900m (west and east facing slopes above 2300m, south slopes above 2600m) where even the weight of one sole skier can release slab avalanches which can grow to dangerously large size even in flat terrain. This applies most of all to shady slopes. In intensely wind-impacted regions, e.g. East Tirol, the proneness to triggering is less due to embedded hardened crusts. Other danger zones occur in the regions where snowfall has been heavy: gliding avalanches on steep, grass-covered slopes. At high altitudes in general, caution is urged in shady, ridgeline terrain towards fresh snowdrifts.
