Avalanche Activity

Fresh snow partly prone to triggering. Wind marks indicate avalanche prone locations.

Avalanche danger above 1500 m is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. Main problem: new snow bonded by wind adjacent to ridgelines. Adjacent to ridgelines and in wind-exposed zones slab avalanches can be triggered by one sole individual. Avalanches can grow to medium size. Danger of being buried in snow masses. In addition, isolated loose snow avalanches will release spontaneously in steep rocky terrain.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 30 cm of new snow were deposited on the bare ground; at higher altitudes atop an encrusted old snowpack surface. Adjacent to ridgelines wind from different directions generated small-scale snowdrift accumulations.These blanket loose snow layers that are prone triggering, in particular at higher altitudes. It is not very likely that fractures will propagate over a large area.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change anytime soon.
