Avalanche Activity

Wet snow requires caution.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible. In addition especially in the vicinity of peaks, individual small and medium-sized wet avalanches are possible. The runout zones are to be treated with caution. In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.

Snowpack Structure

20 to 40 cm of snow fell in the last few days. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to gradual and thorough wetting of the snowpack. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes.

Tendency

The activity of wet avalanches will gradually increase.
