Avalanche Activity

Small snowdrift accumulations can be prone to triggering. Be aware of the risk of falling.

The avalanche risk is low. Wind slab is the main problem. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in places with little additional load. The few avalanche prone locations are mainly in the steep terrain adjacent to ridgelines in the west, east and south-east aspects as well as in gullies and bowls.

With sunlight, individual, small loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from the rocky steep terrain. Small gliding avalanches are possible on smooth, steep meadow slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Small-scale wind slabs are sometimes prone to triggering on soft layers of overblown new fallen snow. In most cases, however, it is well bonded directly on a crusted can form surface or the previously apery ground. The new fallen snow from the last few days quickly becomes damp in the sun. Overall, there is little snow.

Tendency

No change in avalanche danger.
