Chiemgau Alps East

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. Wet loose-snow avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier in steep terrain. On smooth steep grassy slopes, isolated glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Avalanche releases are mostly small-sized.

Due to dry winds, thin melt-freeze crusts can form on the surface in exposed terrain. The uppermost 10-15 cm of the snowpack is slightly moist to moist up to high altitudes, often really wet. At high altitudes, large snowdrift accumulations have formed which are often prone to triggering. Weak layers inside the old snowpack have consolidated in the interim and are trigger-sensitive only in isolated cases. The snowpack base is moist-to-wet down to the ground. Gliding snow movements are possible.

Weather remains variable. Not much precipitation anticipated, little change expected.
