Highlights

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the activity of moist avalanches will appreciably increase. Old wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the activity of moist avalanches will appreciably increase. Old wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist snow slides and avalanches are possible as the day progresses. Avalanche prone locations for moist avalanches are to be found on steep southeast, south and west facing slopes. This applies in particular on steep slopes below approximately 2600 m, as well as on rocky sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Mostly avalanches are only small but in many cases easily released. The old wind slabs can be released even by a single winter sport participant. In isolated cases the avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep slopes above approximately 2200 m, and in gullies and bowls.

Snowpack Structure

Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to softening of the snowpack over a wide area in particular on sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m. The old wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes and at elevated altitudes.

Tendency

Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack over a wide area. As a consequence of warming numerous moist and wet avalanches are to be expected, even medium-sized ones.
