Avalanche Activity

Wet-snow slides and small avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. In the moist/warm air and with rainfall, danger of wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches will increase. Naturally triggered wet slides and mostly small avalanches can trigger naturally on steep north-facing slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night from Wednesday to Thursday will be very poor due to moist-warm air masses and some rainfall. The snowpack can’t consolidate. On south-facing slopes there is hardly any snow on the ground up to high altitudes. Also on shady slopes the ground is becoming bare of snow up to intermediate altitudes.

Weather Forecast

Foehn winds will taper off on Thursday, the air will become moister, clouds and fog will increase. Precipitation can be increasingly expected, the snowfall level will descend only gradually to 2000m. At 2000m: +5 degrees during the daytime. Initially strong S/SE winds, later on tapering off.

Tendency

Due to temperatures dropping and winds slackening off, avalanche danger will recede.
