Avalanche Activity

Few avalanche prone locations.

The avalanche danger is low. Wet snow is the main problem. Especially with sunlight, wet avalanches can detach themselves in very steep terrain and usually remain small.

In addition, smaller slab avalanches can occasionally be triggered in persistent weak layers at higher altitudes. Avalanche prone locations are mainly on very steep slopes in the northern and eastern aspects.

Snowpack Structure

Up to high altitudes, the snow cover, snowpack is soaked through to the ground in many places. A melt-freeze crust forms on the surface overnight. On the sunny slopes, it softens again during the daytime changes, causing the snow to lose its bond. At higher altitudes, older wind slab snow is still lying on dry, angular layers in places. The snow depths are below average.

Tendency

Little change in avalanche danger.
