Tendency

Over a wide area 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall on Wednesday above approximately 3500 m. Above the tree line danger level 3 (considerable) will be reached.

Avalanche Activity

New snow represents the main danger.

Over a wide area up to 15 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 1800 m. The wind was light to moderate. The new snow can be released naturally in all aspects above the tree line. In particular on steep slopes small and medium-sized dry avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of the new snow. On very steep shady slopes the avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack. The light wind has transported only a little snow. The fresh wind slabs have formed in particular in the vicinity of peaks. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches, including medium-sized ones. Bases of rock walls are especially precarious.

Snowpack Structure

The new snow can be released easily or naturally in all aspects above the tree line. The covering of new snow is soft. Over a wide area new snow is lying on a hard crust. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted and weak.
