Avalanche Activity

Circumvent glide cracks!

Avalanche danger is moderate above 1500m, below that altitude it is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. On very steep slopes in all aspects, wet glide-snow avalanches can release naturally over smooth ground, releases are mostly small sized. In addition, small wet loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain. l

Snowpack Structure

Moistening of the snowpack progresses. At the ground the snowpack is wet wide-spread, therefore, it starts gliding over smooth ground. Otherwise it is mostly stable. Patches with dry snow at the surface are becoming rare, these are now only found on shady highest altitude slopes. In isolated cases there is a weak layer near the ground. Small snowdrifts have accumulated close to ridges. In south aspects, the snowpack has become patchy even at high altitude.

Tendency

Danger of dry avalanches can increase somewhat.
