Avalanche Activity

Formation of wet and foundation avalanches due to rain.

Avalanche danger will be strongly associated with all-day rain. This will further soak the already wet snow profile. Particularly dangerous are places where large amounts of snow have been deposited during the snowfall. On grassy steep slopes there is a high probability of foundation avalanches.

Snowpack Structure

The snow profile is wet due to the plus temperatures. There is no overnight frost up to 1500m above sea level to harden the wet cover. The boundary of the continuous snow layer is somewhere around 1200m above sea level.

Tendency

Due to warming and rain rising.
