Moistening of snowpack progresses slowly

Moistening of snowpack progresses slowly

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. Small wet loose snow avalanches can release spontaneously in extremely steep terrain at intermediate altitudes. In addition, it is possible that small glide-snow avalanches trigger naturally on very steep slopes with smooth ground where there is still sufficient snow.

At intermediate altitudes the snowpack moistens increasingly down to deeper layers due to comparatively warm temperatures and cloudy skies. Here, the snowpack base is also mostly wet. At high altitude the snow is dry in north aspects. Weak layers in the old snow are now hardly triggerable.

As of Thursday avalanche danger can increase somewhat due to new snow.
