Avalanche Activity

Wet and gliding snow require caution. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on extremely steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more frequent wet loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small. On steep grassy slopes individual gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. Wind slabs can be released in isolated cases, but mostly only by large additional loads, on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2400 m. This also applies on steep sunny slopes at elevated altitudes. Wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack. They are only small and unlikely to be released now. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is now lying.

Tendency

Slight increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Gliding avalanches can also occur.
