Avalanche Activity

Usually too little snow for ski tours.

The avalanche risk is low. Small slab avalanches can be triggered, especially with large additional loads. The few avalanche prone locations are on very steep slopes in the northern and eastern aspects. The risk of falling and injury is usually greater than the danger of burial.

Snowpack Structure

On the surface there are a few centimetres of dry, partly bonded snow on a melt-freeze crust. The old snowpack usually has an angular structure and is interspersed with more or less massive surface crusts. Crack propagation over larger areas is not to be expected. Overall, there is little snow.

Tendency

Slight increase in avalanche danger with new fallen snow and wind.
