Avalanche Activity

Up to 15cm fresh snow in total.

Avalanche danger is low. Snowdrifts can be problematic. In steep east-facing ridgeline terrain isolated small snowdrift accumulations can be triggered even by minimum additional loading. The risks of being swept along outweigh those of being buried in snow masses. Small glide snow avalanches can in addition trigger naturally on very steep slopes with smooth ground, in all places with sufficient snow.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 15 centimeters of new fallen snow will be impacted by moderate westerly and northerly winds. The new snow has bonded and will bond well with the moist old snowpack surface. Most of the time the snow base is completely soaked and frequently wet at the ground. Small snowdrifts accumulating at high altitude. Snowdrift accumulations can contain intermediate layers that are prone to triggering. Up to the timberline in south aspects the small quantities of new fallen snow are mainly deposited on bare ground.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels will remain low.
