Avalanche Activity

The weather will be mild. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent from the late morning.

The weather will be mild. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the activity of small and medium moist avalanches has gradually increased. This applies in particular on very steep slopes above approximately 2000 m, as well as at the base of rock walls. In addition from the late morning in all aspects, an increasing number of medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large wet avalanches are possible. In particular on shady slopes the avalanches can penetrate even deep layers. The clearly visible wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects at high altitude. Backcountry tourers or freeriders can release avalanches easily.

Snowpack Structure

The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. As a consequence of warming during the day the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent as the day progresses. The new snow of Wednesday must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2700 m. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften during the day.
