Avalanche Activity

Possibility of isolated glide snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: gliding snow. On very steep slopes with sufficient snow over smooth ground isolated glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Medium sized releases are possible. In addition, isolated small wet loose snow avalanches can be released. This applies in particular to extremely steep rocky terrain.

Snowpack Structure

At intermediate altitudes the snowpack is moist down to the ground, but still by and large stable. Below 2400m the snowpack base is frequently wet. The moist snowpack surface hardly solidifies during the night because of mild temperatures ad lack of outgoing longwave radiation. Only on shady side high altitude slopes there is still dry powdery snow. Snow cover and snow profile analyses show that the snowpack stability is good. On sunny side high altitude slopes the ground is becoming bare.

Tendency

Avalanche danger will increase a little due to intensifying winds and fresh snow.
