Avalanche Activity

Moist snow slides and avalanches as the day progresses. Wind slabs on near-ridge shady slopes.

Steep sunny slopes as well as low and intermediate altitudes: As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist snow slides and avalanches are possible from the early morning, even medium-sized ones. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. Shady slopes, high altitudes: The wind slabs are easy to recognise and in some cases prone to triggering. Backcountry touring calls for meticulous route selection.

Snowpack Structure

Thursday: The weather will be mostly sunny. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already soften in the late morning. At intermediate and high altitudes there is still a very large amount of snow. At high altitude snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency

Friday: The conditions remain spring-like.
