Avalanche Activity

More snow than expected has fallen in some localities. As a consequence of the new snow the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent.

In some localities over a wide area 15 to 30 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1500 m. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places adjacent to ridgelines.

Snowpack Structure

The new snow must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects. The old snowpack will be in most cases subject to considerable local variations. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 1900 m. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust.
