Highlights

Increased amount of new snow in the highest parts of the mid-mountains, snowdrift accumulations

Avalanche problems

  • Gliding snow

    • Above 1,200 m

  • Wet snow

    • Below 1,600 m

Avalanche Activity

Blowing snow, gliding avalanches.

In particular, even a small additional load can trigger a small avalanche on snowdrift accumulations. Gliding avalanches also occur on steep, smooth slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 30 cm of New fallen snow fell above 1200 m. New fallen snow fell on an almost level surface. The old snow cover is made up of layers of bonded snow that are already somewhat compacted. A depth hoar has formed at the interface between the snowpack and the ground.

Weather Forecast

Thursday will be cloudy and foggy with light precipitation, with a snowfall level between 1200 and 1400 m and up to 10 cm of New fallen snow, with more snow near the higher ridges. During the 2nd half of the night there will be a strong SW wind, which will ease a little during the day.

Tendency

The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
