Avalanche Activity

Occasional small wet snow slides

The avalanche risk is low. With the onset of rain, isolated wet avalanches can spontaneously occur from slopes of all aspects that have not yet been discharged. The risk of entrainment and falling should be taken into account.

Snowpack Structure

The snow surface can consolidate somewhat overnight. With light rainfall, however, it softens again during the day and is further moistened. In shady areas above around 2000 metres, there are still faceted layers in the lower part of the snowpack. In general, there is little snow and the snow cover is thinning out.

Weather Forecast

In the first half of the night, it will still be partly cloudy, but the clouds will increase after midnight. Towards the morning, unproductive precipitation sets in and the snowfall level is around 2000 metres. There will be a brisk north-westerly wind with gusts of around 60 km/h. At 2000 metres it will be around 2 degrees.

Tendency

Saturday brings more sunshine again. The soaking is progressing.
