Avalanche Activity

Gliding snow represents the main danger.

Small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible on steep grassy slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Avalanches can additionally in isolated cases be released in the weakly bonded old snow. This applies especially in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack at elevated altitudes, caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep slopes. Avalanches can reach medium size.

Snowpack Structure

Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack above approximately 2200 m. The weather will be mild. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack on sunny slopes.

Tendency

Gliding snow represents the main danger. The snowpack remains prone to triggering in some places.
