Between Paznaun and Stubai Alps, some sunshine is likely; in the Kitzbühel Alps and northern Limestone Alps the cloud will persist for longer. On the southern flank of the Alps there will be more sunshine this morning, more cloud in East Tirol. At 2000 m: -8 degrees; at 3000 m: -13 degrees. Moderate N/NW winds at high altitude. Snow Layering Dropping temperatures are stabilising the snowpack somewhat at lower altitudes, where there is now a thin melt-freeze crust in most places. Beneath that, the snowpack is often moist, wet in western regions. The uppermost layers are most relevant to current avalanche danger above 2100 m. There is blanketed surface hoar on shady slopes, also near ridgelines (Nigg effect). Faceted crystals near the melt-freeze crusts are also easy to trigger. These are found especially on west and east facing slopes at 2200-2400 m, and on south facing slopes above 2400 m. The snow quality is still poor, the regions with good powder are becoming rarer. Avalanche Danger Above 2100 m, considerable avalanche danger prevails widespread; in southern East Tirol, low danger prevails. The main problem still lies with the recently formed snowdrift accumulations. The winds did a thorough job of transporting immense snow masses yesterday. The snowdrifts which accumulated above 2100 m can easily trigger, even the weight of one skier is enough. This was confirmed by numerous avalanches which fortunately caused no accidents or damages. All aspects are at risk, especially very steep sunny slopes. Whoever heads into backcountry today needs deep knowledge of avalanche science. Avoid snowdrifts in steep terrain, ski defensively. Gliding avalanches are still possible on steep, grassy slopes. The situation at lower altitudes is more favourable, also much-skied slopes and East Tirol in general are safer.
