Avalanche Activity

Decrease in avalanche danger as the temperature drops.

The rain gave rise on Tuesday to significant moistening of the snowpack below approximately 2100 m. As a consequence of falling temperatures a crust will form on the surface during the night. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. Even in moderately steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface, in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. Be careful, many rocks hidden. The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.

Snowpack Structure

The upper section of the snowpack is hard and its surface has a crust that is strong in many cases, in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. The wind slabs are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls and in the high Alpine regions.
