The survey takes about 10 minutes. Thank you. Summary The outstanding weather forecast for the weekend permits us to look forward to making good use of the stable snowpack.…

Skies on Saturday night, 23.03, will again be star-studded and the snowpack will cool off accordingly. On steep, sunny slopes, a melt-freeze crust capable of bearing loads will form up to high altitudes in the early morning hours of Sunday. Beneath this crust the snowpack is wet or moist down to the ground at least…

Current situation Low avalanche danger currently prevails throughout Tirol. Brilliantly sunny-plus-no-wind weather has created unbeatable conditions for winter sports. On shady slopes and in zones where solar radiation is flat, there is still powder snow. Breiter Grieskogel, southern Stubai Alps (photo: 20.03.2019).

Current situation & outlook A powerful westerly/northwesterly airstream is currently thrusting a series of cold and warm fronts towards the Alps. By Saturday morning, 16.03, we can expect heavy precipitation, according to ZAMG weather forecasts. In the mountains, 50-100 cm of fresh snow is anticipated. Winds will be blowing at strong to storm strength, even…

Normal 0 21 false false false DE-AT X-NONE X-NONE Variable weather has brought some precipitation over the last five days, most of which fell on 11.03 and 12.03. Initially there was rainfall up to about 2000 m, regionally even higher. The measurements at Kappl weather station bear witness to the highly variable conditions over recent…

Outlook Stormy southerly foehn winds which have been raging over North Tirol since yesterday, Wednesday 06.03, were the harbinger of a cold front which will move across all of Tirol tonight and bring some precipitation. On the way in the field, while the cold front is pulled through in the area of the Aifner (photo:…

Outlook On Thursday night a cold front will reach us, bringing strong NW winds to the northern flank of the Alps and temporarily terminating the springlike conditions. Already on Thursday, 28.02, the cold front has announced its approach with intensifying NW winds and slightly decreasing temperatures at intermediate and high altitudes. About 20-30 cm of…

Outlook Wedged between a high over southern Scandinavia and a low over Russia, Tirol will be pressed into a powerful northeasterly airstream tomorrow, Friday 22.02. Strong to storm-strength winds in the mountains will be the result, along with some precipitation, particularly in the eastern regions.   The fresh snow and, in some places, loosely-packed old…

As expected, we are currently observing increasingly frequent glide-snow avalanches on steep, grass-covered slopes. This is the result of higher temperatures, more intensive solar radiation and the increasing wetness of the snowpack. The melt water penetrates to the base of the snowpack on grass-covered slopes and decreases its friction with the ground. This applies increasingly…

We are currently facing Danger Pattern 4 (cold on warm) from region to region in a very narrow altitude band. Background: on Sunday 10.02 there was rainfall/wet snowfall in Tirol up to about 1600-2200 m. Subsequently, temperatures plummeted. The rain turned to snowfall. Thereafter it was persistently cold.Tthe weather is currently subject to great temperature…
