Avalanche Activity

Gliding snow represents the main danger.

On steep grassy slopes small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are to be expected, in particular below approximately 2600 m. The fresh wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. The prevalence of avalanche prone locations and likelihood of triggering will increase with altitude.

Snowpack Structure

The sometimes strong wind has transported the new snow. In some cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers, in particular on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The snowpack will be moist below approximately 2400 m. The surface of the snowpack cooled hardly at all during the overcast night and will soften quickly.

Tendency

Small to medium-sized wet and gliding avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming. The wind slabs are unlikely to be released now.
