Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of warming a moderate danger of moist avalanches will be encountered over a wide area.

The sometimes strong wind has transported the new snow. This snow and in particular the wind slabs to be found adjacent to risgelines and in gullies and bowls can be released easily in all aspects above approximately 1900 m. At transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example such avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Avalanches can in many places be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size in isolated cases in particular on very steep shady slopes. Natural avalanches are to be expected in all aspects. In the afternoon numerous moist avalanches are to be expected above approximately 1600 m.

Snowpack Structure

In particular gullies and bowls and steep shady slopes: The new snow is poorly bonded with the old snowpack.

Tendency

The weather will be warm. Wednesday: The danger of moist avalanches will increase during the day, reaching danger level 3 (considerable). Medium-sized natural avalanches are possible in particular in the north. Ground avalanches are possible from the morning.
