Avalanche Activity

Snow shows signs of wind-impact - still hardly any danger zones

Avalanche danger is LOW, hardly any danger zones threaten. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be triggered only in isolated cases by large additional loading, most likely in northern aspects.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack has settled well, but shows immense signs of wind impact. Hardly any fresh snow, only a few centimetres, the surfaces are encrusted. Above the treeline, slopes are windblown. In bowls there is more snow. Inside the old snowpack are weak layers of faceted crystals, but are currently not relevant to triggering danger.
