Avalanche Activity

Beware the danger of taking a fall

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: freshly generated snowdrift accumulations. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in some places by 1 person. Danger zones occur in steep ridgeline terrain and steep gullies and bowls on N/E/S facing slopes. On smooth slopes, isolated glide-snow avalanches can trigger, releases mostly small.

Snowpack Structure

At higher altitudes, a few cm of fresh snow has been registered. On Tuesday night a bit more will be added to it, transported by westerly winds, deposited as snowdrifts atop loose snow or snowdrifts. The drifts can still be prone to triggering. The old snowpack is stable, moist and wet at ground level. Below 1500 m, hardly any snow on the ground, even on north-facing slopes.

Tendency

In the latter part of the week it will turn milder, the drifts will become less trigger-prone. Avalanche danger will continue to recede.
