Avalanche Activity

Wet and gliding avalanches are the main danger. Wet and gliding snow require caution.

As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of gliding avalanches and wet snow slides being released will increase quickly in all aspects. In isolated cases, wet avalanches can reach intermediate altitudes in steep gullies. On steep grassy slopes medium-sized and large gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on steep shady slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was reduced. The surface of the snowpack is not frozen and will already be soft in the early morning. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to extreme and thorough wetting of the snowpack. This applies on sunny slopes in all altitude zones, as well as on shady slopes also at intermediate and high altitudes.

Tendency

Until Monday the weather will be exceptionally warm. The danger of wet and gliding avalanches will persist.
