Avalanche Activity

In some localities increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides as a consequence of solar radiation.

Mostly small moist avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation, in particular on steep sunny slopes, and at the base of rock walls. The wind slabs are rather small and can be released in isolated cases especially at their margins. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones. Watch out for the numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow.

Snowpack Structure

In some localities 5 to 15 cm of snow fell on Saturday. The snowpack is largely stable and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a crust. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation this applies especially on shady slopes. In particular low and intermediate altitudes: The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. In all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying.

Tendency

The weather will be mild. The weather conditions will foster a gradual strengthening of the snowpack.
