Avalanche Activity

In some localities increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day.

Mostly small moist avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation, in particular on very steep sunny slopes, and at the base of rock walls. The mostly small wind slabs can be released in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Watch out for the numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow.

Snowpack Structure

The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. On sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

The weather will be mild. The weather conditions will foster a gradual strengthening of the snowpack.
