Ulten Valley

Fresh wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering. Gliding snow requires caution.

The danger of dry avalanches will decrease gradually. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation numerous mostly small wet snow slides are to be expected. Gliding snow requires caution.

Fresh wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering. Gliding snow requires caution.

The fresh wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Especially slopes adjacent to ridgelines are unfavourable. Avalanches can in very isolated cases reach medium size, in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones. This applies especially on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist and wet snow slides are to be expected.

5 to 10 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1800 m. As a consequence of the northwesterly wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed. These are lying on soft layers on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The new snow is lying on a crust on steep sunny slopes. In particular below approximately 2200 m: Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good over a wide area. The snowpack is wet and its surface has a crust that is strong in many cases. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. At low altitude only a little snow is now lying.
