Avalanche Activity

Small wet snow avalanches in snowy places

The avalanche risk is low. Small, spontaneous wet snow slides can occur from slopes that have not yet been discharged in all aspects. Wet snow slides triggered by winter sports increase the risk of entrainment in the fall terrain.

Snowpack Structure

The outgoing longwave radiation at night is poor and the snow cover remains largely moistened to isothermal due to the warmth. In places, you can still find small pillows of wind drifted snow adjacent to ridgelines, but most of the terrain is already tapped out.

Weather Forecast

Sunday night will be cloudy to very cloudy, but mostly dry. Temperatures at 2000 metres around +5 degrees. Tomorrow, Sunday, sun and clouds will alternate, so visibility will vary. In the afternoon, some additional spring clouds will appear, which may temporarily shroud higher peaks in fog. As a result, one or two showers cannot be completely ruled out. Temperatures at 2000 metres between 6 and 11 degrees.

Tendency

Slow reduction in avalanche danger due to melting of the remaining snow.
