Avalanche Activity

A treacherous avalanche situation will persist. The snowpack remains prone to triggering.

Avalanches can as before be released easily. Mostly they are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. The avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

The new snow and wind slabs of last week are lying on surface hoar in particular on wind-protected shady slopes. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack. This applies in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. The snowpack will become moist on steep sunny slopes. This applies at low and intermediate altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones.

Tendency

The avalanche conditions remain treacherous.
