Kernpunkte

Start your day early and watch the crust closely.

As it breaks down, reduce your exposure to avalanche terrain.

Lawinenprobleme

  • Cornices

    • Hochgebirge
    • Waldgrenze
    • Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Unlikely - Possible
    Größe
    1.5–2.5

    Large cornices hang over many ridges and are more likely to collapse during warm, sunny weather.

  • Loose Wet

    • Hochgebirge
    • Waldgrenze
    • Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Very Likely
    Größe
    1–3

    Wet loose avalanches will become more likely as the sun and warmth affect the snowpack. Start early, and avoid the hottest part of the day.

    If there is a thick surface crust, wet avalanches are unlikely.

  • Wet Slabs

    • Hochgebirge
    • Waldgrenze
    • Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Possible
    Größe
    2–3

    Multiple days of warm temperatures and minimal overnight cooling may cause large, wet slab avalanches.

Avalanche Summary

Wet loose avalanches have been occurring daily on steep slopes facing the sun. Mostly small, but some large avalanches (size 2 to 3).

Snowpack Summary

A thin surface crust is expected to cover up to 25 cm of recent snow at upper elevations. This snow overlies a robust crust buried around 20 to 30 cm, which is everywhere except northerly aspects in the alpine.

The mid and lower snowpack has no layers of concern.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • The more the snowpack warms up and weakens, the more conservative your terrain selection should be.
  • Avoid steep, sun-exposed slopes when the air temperature is warm or when solar radiation is strong.
  • Avalanche danger will increase as the surface crust breaks down.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
