Hazard Level 2 – Wet Snow Awines and Bad Snow at Easter

Matthias Walcher, prediction of the Avalanche -warning, has no good news for the local mountain fans for the Easter weekend. “The snow cover is recently retired. And he then pushes a bad news:” Unfortunately, the snow quality in the tour areas is quite bad. “

Only “freaks” on the mountain?
Under these circumstances, only the “freaks” ski tours – although a lot of sunshine can be expected from Saturday to Sunday. But there are also in the valley and there attracts spring with alternative sports options.

Growing snow blanket
Those who want to enjoy the modest late winter again have to do with wet snow avalanches in terms of avalanche danger. Sometimes precipitation and the warm temperatures caused the snow blanket to be driven – wet snow avalanches represent the result.

“We recently registered a great activity of this avalanche species,” says Matthias Walcher. It decreases during the Easter weekend, but wet snow avalanches remain the most important subject in terms of “avalanche danger”.

Moderate avalanche
It will probably be moderate from Friday to Sunday – Danger Level 2. “On the very steep terrain, individual skiers can be wet snow avalanches to medium -sized,” Walcher warns. However, the new snow at heights from more than 2000 to Friday afternoon should not affect the avalanche situation.

Hardly any loads -good lid
The nights on the Easter weekend are often cloudy, so the snow cover trusts in terms of radiation. A load -cheap lid including a firn can only be found at high heights. The result: the ski pleasure is largely modest because of this poor snow quality. Winter says goodbye.
