Avalanche Activity

Caution on hiking trails: beware of wet snow avalanches triggering above you

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow is a problem. Mostly small loose snow avalanches can release spontaneously in steep rocky terrain. Wherever there is still enough snow, in addition possibility of small (in isolated cases medium-sized) glide snow avalanches triggering naturally in steep terrain with smooth ground.

Snowpack Structure

In the Bavarian Alps the snowpack is completely wet up to higher altitudes. The little new snow that fell during Tuesday night was frequently deposited on the warm ground or has bonded well with the wet old snowpack and has already become moist. In many places the ground is becoming rapidly bare of snow.

Tendency

Friday will see the onset of abundant rainfall and simultaneously mild temperatures. The wet snow problem will aggravate.
