On Thursday night, a cold front will reach us. Mountain weather today: mostly sunny and mild in the mountains. A few clouds above summit level, possibly thickening on the northern flank of the Alps this afternoon. At 2000m: +6 degrees. At 3000m: -2 degrees. Strong to storm-strength W/SW winds at high altitudes. Snow Layering As a result of strong to storm-strength westerly winds at high altitudes, the latest batch of new fallen snow was intensely transported. The snowdrifts which accumulated are poorly bonded with the snowpack surface beneath them and thus, prone to triggering. In the inneralpine backcountry touring regions and along the Main Alpine Ridge the old-snow problem persists: inside the snowpack are faceted-crystals layers of loose snow. If an avalanche fractures to these layers, it can grow to dangerously large size. Below 2000m the snowpack has become thoroughly wet due to rainfall and mild temperatures. Thus, it has lost most of its firmness. Avalanche Danger Avalanche danger in Tirol’s backcountry touring regions has increased somewhat: above 2400m it is considerable widespread. The major peril stems from fresh snowdrift accumulations. They are generally small-sized but prone to triggering. They can often be triggered by minimum additional loading, i.e. the weight of one sole skier. Avalanche prone locations are found on steep, shady slopes above 2400m as well as in general in ridgeline terrain in all aspects. Below 2000m the snowpack is thoroughly wet, thus superficial loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally, sometimes even slab avalanches.
