Avalanche Activity

Individual gliding avalanches are possible.

On extremely steep grassy slopes individual gliding avalanches are possible from midday, even medium-sized ones. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Shady slopes: The old snowpack will be generally stable. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

Snowpack Structure

The old wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack in all aspects. Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals and its surface has a crust. Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften later than the day before. Above the tree line there are 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

Friday: Slight increase in danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides as the moisture increases.
