Avalanche Activity

During the course of the day fresh danger spots in some places.

Low avalanche danger. Nevertheless fresh snowdrift deposits in some places in shady steep areas which can be triggered by small additional loads. Danger of falling is higher than the danger of being buried

Snowpack Structure

Partially a thin snowdrift layer is forming in higher shady areas on top of a layer wich kinetic metamorphosed. This weak layer can be prone to triggering. Otherwise the new snow is sufficiently bonding with the old snow cover. The snow base is predominantly stable. Blow-off areas are often hard and icy.
