Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate southeasterly wind, mostly shallow wind slabs formed in the course of the day especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. These can be released very easily, but they will be small in most cases. Very steep grassy slopes: Gliding avalanches require caution. Sometimes Explanation: "these" may only stand for "these avalanches" are medium-sized. Very steep slopes: Individual dry snow slides are possible, but they will be mostly small. Backcountry touring calls for meticulous route selection.

Snowpack Structure

The new snow of the last few days has settled a little. The snowpack is fairly homogeneous. As a consequence of new snow and a light to moderate southeasterly wind, mostly shallow wind slabs formed adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Thursday: The weather will be sunnier than expected. Slight warming.

Tendency

Friday: Gradual increase in danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
