Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, little snow on the ground

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: freshly generated snowdrift accumulations which in wind-loaded zones on N/E/S facing slopes can trigger by minimum additional loading. Slab avalanche releases are small, the risks of taking a fall are greater.

Snowpack Structure

Since Thursday night, storm-strength westerly winds have often been generating trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations. The old snowpack at high altitudes is often frozen hard, it is generally stable and moist-to-wet. The old snowpack fundament is frozen hard on the surface and contains several crusts inside. At intermediate altitudes, sunny slopes are often bare of snow or have only a few cm of loose snow. Also in the forest regions there is little snow on the ground.

Tendency

No significant change anticipated
