Avalanche Activity

Judge snowfields cautiously also above hiking trails

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow is the main problem. Where there is still sufficient snow, small wet loose snow avalanches can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain. It is possible that small wet glide snow avalanches trigger naturally on very steep slopes over smooth ground, especially in north aspects.

Snowpack Structure

Rainshowers continue to cause further humidity in the thoroughly wet snowpack. Spatially limited the intensity of the snowpack moisture can differ widely. The firmness of the snowpack deteriorates and the sink-in depths increase. An area-wide cohesive snowpack is now mostly only found on the shady side at higher altitudes. On south-facing slopes the ground is becoming increasingly bare even at summit altitudes.

Tendency

Temperatures will drop. Wet snow avalanche activity decreases.
