Snowpack Structure

Shady slopes: The upper section of the snowpack consists of faceted crystals; its surface is loosely bonded and consists of surface hoar and faceted crystals. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack especially on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m. Large-grained weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in shady places that are protected from the wind. In all regions there are 40 to 60 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.

Tendency

Monday: Gradual decrease in danger of moist avalanches as the temperature drops. Gradual increase in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the sometimes strong southerly wind.
