Avalanche Activity

Only little new snow in the Prealps.

Avalanche danger in the Bavarian Prealps is low. Main problem: fresh snow. Where snowfall is more intense, small loose snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain in all aspects. Isolated small to medium-sized glide snow avalanches can in addition trigger on steep slopes with smooth ground with still enough old snow.

Snowpack Structure

By Friday evening 10-20cm fresh snow will have fallen in the Bavarian Prealps due to slowly dropping temperatures. It will be deposited atop a favorable old snowpack surface or bare ground without wind impact worth mentioning. In places where an old snowpack remains it is thoroughly moist down to the ground and in many places wet at ground level.

Tendency

As a consequence of dropping temperatures, precipitation, and rising wind the avalanche danger will increase.
