Avalanche Activity

Danger of falls on icy surfaces

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. Small loose-snow avalanches can triggered during the daytime hours, mostly on extremely steep slopes at intermediate altitudes. On very steep slopes with deep enough snow and a smooth ground surface, glide-snow avalanches possible.

Snowpack Structure

Due to daytime warming it softens up rapidly during the day. The snowpack is then moist on the surface esp. in places where the snow is shallow, forfeiting firmness, in some places it is utterly wet. On shady slopes at high altitudes is the loose snow still dry. Snowpack analysis and snow profiles show good snowpack stability by and large. On south-facing slopes the ground is becoming bare of snow.

Tendency

Due to intensifying winds and fresh snow, danger of dry slab avalanches could increase at mid-week.
