Highlights

Heed danger of taking a fall on hard snowpack surface.

Avalanche problems

  • Gliding snow

    • All elevations

Snowpack Structure

Northwesterly wind transport the little new fallen snow and accumulates small snowdrifts that bond mostly well with the old snowpack surface. Thanks to cooler temperatures the old snowpack is by and large stable. Even at high altitudes it is completely moist and wet a ground level; therefore, the problem of gliding snow persists.

Tendency

Avalanche danger changes little.

Avalanche Activity

Heed danger of taking a fall on hard snowpack surface.

Avalanche danger above 1600 m is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. Main problem: gliding snow. It is possible that mostly medium-sized glide snow avalanches release spontaneously on very steep slopes over smooth ground that have not yet discharged. Avoid stopping or staying below glide cracks.
