Avalanche Activity

Loose-snow avalanches more possible in regions where snowfall was heavy

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow, which can release naturally as a loose-snow avalanche or by minimum additional loading. On smooth steep grassy slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. In isolated cases, snowdrifts can be a problem. Isolated danger zones occur in steep terrain of the hights summit and ridgeline regions on N/E/SE facing slopes. Avalanches can trigger generally by large additional loading, releases remain mostly small-sized.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is superficially moist, depending on the intensity of rainfall, and it is forfeiting firmness. Fresh snowdrifts are prone to triggering only over small areas. The snowpack layering is increasingly collapsing. The snowpack base is moist-to-wet down to the ground. Gliding snow is possible.

Tendency

Little change expected
