Avalanche Activity

Rainfall leading to wet loose-snow avalanches

Wet loose-snow avalanches of medium size can be expected in very steep terrain. On steep grass-covered slopes, glide-snow avalanches can release. Zones with glide cracks on the surface should under all circumstances be avoided.

Snowpack Structure

Where there is snow on the ground, it is thoroughly wet.

Weather Forecast

Rainfall at night and until midday, snowfall above 1800m. During the afternoon hours, clouds will disperse somewhat. Temperature at 2000m: -3 to +1 degree, at 3000m at -5 degrees. Initially strong to storm-strength northwesterly winds at high altitudes will slacken off significantly during the afternoon..

Tendency

Wet-snow activity will end when the precipitation ceases. Then, when high-pressure weather conditions set it, the ground will become further bare of snow.
