Avalanche Activity

Dry and moist avalanches are still to be expected.

The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. In particular on very steep slopes and in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation more small and medium-sized dry and moist avalanches are to be expected at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In particular high altitudes and the high Alpine regions as well as wind-loaded slopes: In localities where more than 25 cm of snow falls danger level 3 (considerable) will be reached.

Snowpack Structure

In particular below approximately 2800 m,: The old snowpack remains generally stable. The snowfall will give rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack over a wide area in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The weather conditions will facilitate a gradual strengthening of the snowpack.
