Small wet snow avalanches possible.

Small wet snow avalanches possible.

Avalanche danger is low. In some places the wet snow can be problematic. Small wet loose-snow avalanches or slab avalanches can trigger on extremely steep slopes where there is still enough snow. On steep grass-covered slopes, in addition, glide-snow avalanches cannot be ruled out. Due to warm temperatures and rain the number of avalanche prone location will increase slightly on Tuesday and Wednesday.

All in all, the snowpack is compact and, by and large, stable. Superficially the snowpack softens in the warm temperatures and rain, mostly down to the layer of Sahara dust. It is often wet down to the ground which enables gliding movements of the snow masses. At summit altitudes some new snow will fall accompanied by partly stormy wind; below that altitude there will be on and off rain.

Avalanche danger will remain low. The next Avalanche Bulletin update will be published on Thursday. Monday.
