Avalanche Activity

Snowpack is becoming wetter and wetter

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow is the major problem. Due to daytime warming, mostly small, wet loose snow slides trigger naturally on extremely steep slopes. On very steep grass-covered slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally.

Snowpack Structure

During the night, a melt-freeze crust will form, then swiftly melt in the sunshine next morning. Older snowdrift accumulations have consolidated somewhat. In many places graupel is embedded. At intermediate altitudes the fresh fallen snow was frequently deposited on moist ground which was previously bare of snow. South-facing slopes are losing their snow cover.

Tendency

Avalanche danger is not expected to change significantly.
