Avalanche Activity

Gliding snow requires caution.

On steep grassy slopes small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist loose snow avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes. The fresh snow of the last few days as well as the wind slabs formed by the storm force to violent wind can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases at elevated altitudes.

Snowpack Structure

In some regions 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen. This applies in particular at elevated altitudes. The rain gave rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced over a wide area. Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Tendency

Gliding snow requires caution. Only isolated wet loose snow avalanches are possible as the day progresses. Further decrease in danger of dry avalanches.
