Avalanche Activity

Gradual increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day.

The older wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on steep shady slopes below approximately 2700 m. In some places the avalanches can be released in the old snow and reach quite a large size. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the activity of moist and wet avalanches will increase, especially on steep sunny slopes and at low and intermediate altitudes. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions and in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place more medium-sized natural avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day, especially on sunny slopes and at low and intermediate altitudes. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.
