Avalanche Activity

Well settled snowpack, only few danger spots

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem, isolated weak layers in the old snow. Slab avalanches can on very steep north-facing slopes still be triggered by large additional loading. Likelihood of triggering is higher in transitions from shallow to deep snow. Avalanches are small to medium-sized. Elsewhere, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible in steep grassy terrain.

Snowpack Structure

A few cm of fresh snow blanke older snowdrift masses which were able to settle well on sunny slopes in particular. At higher altitudes the snowpack is still riddled with weak faceted layers. Where snow is shallow, these layers can still be triggered. Near ridgelines snowdrifts have been generated which are prone to triggering.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
