Avalanche Activity

Beware wet snow

On extremely steep slopes, generally small-sized wet loose-snow avalanches are possible. In addition, during the afternoon hours, mostly small wet slab avalanches are possible. Weak layers in the old snowpack can in isolated cases be triggered by one sole skier. Isolated danger zones occur on very steep shady slopes, esp. above 2000m. In addition, small snowdrift accumulations require caution, they can be triggered by one sole skier in isolated cases.

Snowpack Structure

Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation is reduced. The snowpack will soften increasingly during the course of the day. In the lower part of the snowpack on shady slopes there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident. Beneath the timberline there is only little snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

On Friday, extensive sunshine, good visibility. Widns will be moderate from NW/NE, reaching 50 km/hr.. At 2000m: +2 degrees, at 1000m 11 degrees. Source: GeoSphere
