Border Graie Alps

The snowpack will be generally stable.

The snowpack will be generally stable.

Currently there are favourable conditions generally. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. Avalanches can in very isolated cases be triggered in the old snowpack. This applies on very steep shady slopes at intermediate and high altitudes. They are small and can only be released by large loads.

Low altitudes as well as steep sunny slopes: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface during the last few days. Intermediate and high altitudes, shady slopes: Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. The snowpack is largely stable and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a strong crust. In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying.
