Avalanche Activity
Avoid zones below glide cracks
Avalanches danger increases during the course of the day from moderate to considerable. Main problem: wet snow, which can trigger in very steep terrain naturally as a loose-snow avalanche or be triggered by 1 skier. Wet-snow masses are often swept along on the plummet path. And steep grass-covered slopes can releases wet glide-snow avalanches at any time, reaching medium size in afternoon.
Snowpack Structure
The fresh snow which fell during the last week has settled significantly, melts quickly during the morning, beginning on east-facing slopes, then south and west-facing slopes, the snow becomes wet and forfeits its firmness. . In summit and pass areas the snow is bonded by wind impact, can be prone to triggering. Wind-crusts and melt-freeze crusts dominate in morning. No marked weak layers are evident, making wide-ranging fracture propagation unlikely.
Tendency
The wet-snow will remain problematic over the next few days
