Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of warming and solar radiation a moderate danger of moist and wet avalanches will prevail.

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions generally, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. In some places the avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack and reach quite a large size. The avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2800 m. Backcountry tours and ascents to alpine cabins should be started and concluded early.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack will be moist below approximately 2500 m. The new snow of the weekend has settled to a large extent. The meteorological conditions will foster a substantial strengthening of the near-surface layers. Faceted weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
