Highlights
Gliding avalanches are the main danger.
Avalanche problems
Snowpack Structure
On Friday it will be exceptionally warm. The snowpack will be generally moist. Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. Shady slopes and above approximately 2000 m: The surface of the snowpack will hardly soften at all. There is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
Tendency
Saturday: Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. As the temperature drops there will be a decrease in the danger of gliding avalanches to level 1 (low).
Avalanche Activity
Gliding avalanches are the main danger.
The early morning will see favourable avalanche conditions. 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 gliding avalanches to level 2 (moderate). The avalanche prone locations for gliding avalanches are to be found on very steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.
