Avalanche Activity

Gliding avalanches are the main danger. Wet loose snow avalanches are possible especially in the afternoon.

An appreciable danger of gliding avalanches exists, in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m, as well as on steep shady slopes below approximately 2400 m. These can reach dangerously large size. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation wet loose snow avalanches are possible as the day progresses, even medium-sized ones. This applies in case of a single winter sport participant, especially on extremely steep slopes below approximately 2400 m.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. The snowpack will be wet all the way through below approximately 2200 m. The snowpack will be moist below approximately 2400 m. The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area. This applies at high altitude.

Tendency

Gliding avalanches are the main danger.
