Avalanche Activity

Evening drizzle or sleet. Avalanche danger progressively easing.

Snow cover rapidly settling and progressively consolidating. Triggering will be possible with low overload on many steep slopes at all aspects. To the south, the entire recent snow cover rests, almost entirely, on unfrozen uncovered ground, a condition that will favor accentuated snow flow phenomena. Natural avalanches both on the ground and on the surface of large dimensions will still be possible.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover will progressively consolidate at all altitude ranges thanks to progressive clearings and night-time radiation. The thicknesses of recent new snow will settle rapidly, especially in the intermediate and valley bottom altitude bands. These areas will always be affected by snow flow phenomena, as the fresh snow will not be anchored to the thawed ground below. In the Alpine area, beyond the treeline, the expected weak ventilation will not particularly alter the surface layers, which will appear to be weakly cohesive, with considerable thicknesses. The connection with the old basal snow will improve, however crossing open, steep, leeward slopes is not recommended.
