Avalanche Activity

Moist and wet avalanches are still possible.

The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. Medium-sized avalanches are still not ruled out. In particular in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place medium-sized gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible as a consequence of warming during the day. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early.

Snowpack Structure

Over a wide area 15 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell on Tuesday above approximately 1800 m. As a consequence of northeasterly wind, soft wind slabs formed. The more recent wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack on steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day.

Tendency

The weather conditions will foster a substantial strengthening of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. As a consequence of falling temperatures, the natural avalanche activity will appreciably decrease. Some snow will fall from the afternoon.
