Avalanche Activity

Gliding avalanches are the main danger.

An appreciable danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies on steep grassy slopes in all aspects. Gliding avalanches can be released at any time of day or night. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. On extremely steep sunny slopes more mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

Snowpack Structure

The weather will be very mild. The weather conditions brought about a stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations above the tree line. The snowpack will be wet all the way through below approximately 2000 m. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to rapid softening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes.

Tendency

Gliding snow represents the main danger.
