Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

The mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Over a wide area only a little snow is now lying. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. Above the tree line, shady slopes: Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted and weak. In some places various wind slab layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Over a wide area only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

In some regions 5 to 15 cm of snow will fall above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow a moderate avalanche danger will be encountered in some localities.
