Avalanche Activity

In some localities increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day.

The sleet gave rise to unfavourable bonding of the snowpack in some places in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. As a consequence of new snow and wind from easterly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed especially in the vicinity of peaks. These are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. In particular at intermediate and high altitudes and on steep sunny slopes small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early.

Snowpack Structure

The old snowpack remains generally stable. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to significant moistening of the old snowpack over a wide area. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The weather conditions will give rise to gradual consolidation of the snowpack in some places.
