Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of the precipitation there will be an increase in the avalanche danger. The conditions are unfavourable for backcountry touring.

In all aspects wet loose snow avalanches are possible. Gliding avalanches are also to be expected. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation large and, in isolated cases, very large avalanches are possible. Avalanches can be released by small loads.

Snowpack Structure

Above approximately 2000 m snow will fall over a wide area. The wind slabs of the last few days will be covered with new snow and therefore difficult to recognise. In many cases wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. This applies in particular on shady slopes. The weather conditions will give rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area. Weak layers exist in the snowpack.

Tendency

The weather will be cloudy. Over a wide area precipitation.
