Kernpunkte

Where a robust crust exists, the avalanche danger is low.
Steep south-facing slopes may soften in the heat of the day.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Limit exposure to steep, sun exposed slopes, especially when the solar radiation is strong.
