Avalanche Activity

Wet and gliding snow require caution.

The early morning will see favourable avalanche conditions generally. As the day progresses as the moisture increases there will be a gradual increase in the danger of wet and gliding avalanches to level 2 (moderate). This applies in particular in the regions with a lot of snow at the border to Benasque and at the border to Ribagorça and Pallars. These can to an increasing extent be released by people or triggered naturally. Gliding avalanches can also occur.

Snowpack Structure

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften earlier than the day before. The old snowpack will be in most cases well bonded. Backcountry tours should be started and concluded early. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks.

Tendency

Further increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches as the moisture increases.
