Avalanche Activity

Early morning: safest conditions

Avalanche danger rises from low to moderate during the course of the day. Main problem: wet snow, which can trigger in very steep terrain naturally as a loose-snow avalanche or be triggered by 1 skier. In morning esp. east-facing slopes, later also south and west-facing slopes are endangered, size of releases mostly small.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh snow which fell during the last week has settled well, the thin melt-freeze crust forming on the surface on south-facing slopes melts quickly during the morning, beginning on east-facing slopes, then south and west-facing slopes, the snow becomes wet and forfeits its firmness. In summit and pass areas the snow is bonded by wind impact, can be prone to triggering. Low-altitude south-facing slopes are becoming bare of snow.

Tendency

The wet-snow will remain problematic over the next few days
