Avalanche Activity

Small to medium sized moist slides and avalanches possible

Avalanches can be triggered in the old snow even by one sole skier on shady slopes above 2000m, mostly medium-sized releases. Due to daytime warming and solar radiaation, moist loose-snow avalanches are possible, mostly small releases on very steep sunny slopes. On very steep grass-covered slopes glide-snow avalanches are possible, mostly small sized releases, esp. on very steep sunny slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Clear skies widespread. Due to low temperatures and low air moisture, near-surface crusts form above 2400m. In the lowermost part of the snopwpack there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident, esp. above 1900m.

Weather Forecast

On Tuesday, high-pressure front conditions will continue with brilliant sunshine, mostly cloudless skies and outstanding visibility. Winds will start with speeds of 50 km/hr then slacken off to 24-40 km/hr. At 1000m: +1 degree; at 2000m: -8 degrees; at 3000m: -12 degrees. Source: GeoSphere

Tendency

Due to lower temperatures and low air moisture the snowpack is consolidating
