Avalanche Activity

Main danger: wet-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low in the morning and rises to moderate during the course of the day. On steep slopes with lots of snow and a smooth underground which have not yet discharged, glide-snow avalanches can trigger at any time of day or night in all aspects. Zones below glide cracks should be avoided. Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, wet loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally, particularly on extremely steep slopes. Avalanches can grow to medium size and place exposed hiking trails at risk.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack was weakened over the last few days due to lack of nocturnal outgoing radiation, local rain showers and daytime warming. It is thoroughly wet widespread.

Weather Forecast

Following a night of partially cloudy skies, brilliant sunshine will predominate with few significant clouds in the sky. Moderate winds, unusually mild for this juncture of the season, the zero-degree level lies at just above 3000m. Temperature at 2000m: up to +9 degrees; at 3000m: +1 degree.

Tendency

Over the next few days, a daytime rhythm of avalanche danger will set in.
