Avalanche Activity

Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The backcountry touring conditions in the morning, after a clear night, are favourable. As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep sunny slopes. Avalanches can in some cases release the saturated snowpack. Gliding avalanches can also occur. This applies on grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes.

Tendency

Decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
