Avalanche Activity

As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a gradual increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. In the last few days mostly small wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in steep terrain at elevated altitudes and on shady slopes. These are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.

Snowpack Structure

20 cm of snow fell on Tuesday. The strong wind has transported the new snow significantly. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. The high temperatures on Monday gave rise to rapid moistening of the snowpack.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
