Avalanche Activity

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases.

Avalanches can in isolated cases be released by small loads. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes. Avalanches can penetrate even deep layers and reach medium size in isolated cases. As a consequence of warming during the day only isolated wet loose snow slides are to be expected below approximately 2600 m. This applies in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes. Hardly any more gliding avalanches are to be expected.

Snowpack Structure

In its middle, the snowpack is weak in some cases. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in isolated cases in particular on steep shady slopes. As a consequence of falling temperatures and low relative humidity a crust formed on the surface during the night. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to slight softening of the snowpack in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes. These conditions will cause a slight weakening of the near-surface layers as the day progresses. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The avalanche conditions are quite safe.
