Avalanche Activity

The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften during the day. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase gradually.

As the day progresses the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep sunny slopes. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. In particular on very steep slopes and at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. Avalanches can be triggered in the old snowpack and reach medium size. Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be concluded early.

Snowpack Structure

The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will already be soft in the early morning. The spring-like weather conditions gave rise to gradual moistening of the snowpack.

Tendency

Some rain will fall over a wide area. These weather conditions will cause a gradual weakening of the snowpack.
