Avalanche Activity

Small fresh snowdrifted masses

Avalanche danger is low. Main danger: snowdrifts, near ridgelines, in gullies and bowls esp. on north-facing slopes. Triggering a usually small-to-medium avalanches is possible by minimum additional loading. As temperatures rise during the day, small naturally triggered loose-snow avalanches are likely in extremely steep terrain. Also isolated glide-snow avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

The snowfall from the weekend is generally well bonded with the old snowpack, which itself is well consolidated. Wind-exposed spots are bare. In the valleys and on sunny slopes up to intermediate altitudes there is little snow on the ground.
