Avalanche Activity

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. At intermediate altitudes isolated small loose snow avalanches can trigger naturally. This applies in particular to extremely steep rocky terrain. On very steep slopes with sufficient snow over smooth ground small glide-snow avalanches cannot be excluded

Snowpack Structure

At intermediate altitudes the snowpack surface is soft already early in the morning due to mild temperatures and lack of outgoing radiation. Below 2000m, it is in many places thoroughly moist down to the ground, but by and large stable. In particular in places with little snow the snowpack base is wet. Only on shady side high altitude slopes there is still dry powdery snow. Snow cover and snow profile analyses show that the snowpack stability is good. There is not much snow for this time of the year.

Tendency

Avalanche danger will increase a little due to intensifying winds and fresh snow.
