Favourable avalanche situation

Favourable avalanche situation

The avalanche risk is low. Wind slabs can be problematic. On the northern sides of the highest summits and areas adjacent to the ridgeline, small slab avalanches with low additional load can be triggered in isolated cases.

Individual, small gliding avalanches are possible on smooth, steep meadow slopes.

Older wind slab snow has usually bonded well with the old snow surface. In the highest areas adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit, it can still be prone to triggering on shady slopes. The snowpack is generally well stabilised and slightly moist. If there is sufficient outgoing longwave radiation, a stable melt-freeze crust can form on the south side overnight. The snow is still powdery on the surface only on the steep northern sides of the higher elevations. Overall, there is little snow.

The avalanche danger does not change.
