Avalanche Activity

As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of dry and wet avalanches.

The wind was moderate to strong at times. In gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain mostly shallow wind slabs formed. These can be released even by a single winter sport participant at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible below approximately 2400 m. Backcountry tours should be started early and concluded timely.

Snowpack Structure

A lot of snow is lying in all altitude zones. The new snow of the weekend has settled to a large extent in particular on sunny slopes and at low and intermediate altitudes. The surface of the snowpack will soften earlier than the day before. The high temperatures in the late morning will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. In the last few days medium-sized to large avalanches were observed.

Tendency

The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will already soften in the late morning.
