Avalanche Activity

Snowpack by and large stable.

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated weak layers persist in the old snowpack. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in particular by large additional loading. Avalanche prone locations occur at transitions from shallow to deep snow in extremely steep W/N/E-facing terrain.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack has settled considerably and is largely stable. Only on shady side slopes at higher altitudes are there still weak layers consisting of faceted crystals embedded in the middle part of the snowpack close to melt-freeze crusts. Where there is still snow on sunny side slopes a nocturnal melt-freeze crust will form which will soften again during the course of the day. The snow on shady side slopes is powdery, in exposed locations wind-compacted. The snowpack base is partly wet. Therefore, gliding movements of the snowpack cannot be exlcuded.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels will remain low.
