Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: gliding snow. On steep smooth slopes which have not yet discharged isolated small glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally.Above 2400 m, isolated snowdrifts can be problematic. Danger zones where small to medium slabs can trigger by large additional loading occur on steep north-facing slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Up to high altitudes the snowpack surfaces bears a thin melt-freeze crust in the morning. Gale strength foehn storms transport the last loose snow at high altitude, accumulating small snowdrifts which bond mostly well with the old snowpack surface. Cooler temperatures and a few centimeters of new fallen snow make the snowpack by and large stable. It is wet at the ground; therefore, the gliding snow problem persists.

Tendency

Avalanche danger changes little.
