Avalanche Activity

Isolated small wet-snow slides during the course of the day

Avalanche danger is low. Problem: wet-snow. Isolated moist and wet loose-snow avalanches can trigger in steep rocky terrain. Avalanche releases are small. Beware the risks of falling. On very steep slopes over smooth ground, small wet glide-snow avalanches cannot be excluded.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack cools at night, forms a melt-freeze crust which quickly softens during the daytime. The snowpack becomes moist early on sunny slopes, during the course of the day in other aspects. Loose snow of recent days loses its firmness, can easily glide away. Wasser seeps increasingly into the snowpack, increaing the wetness at ground level, esp. where there is little snow on the ground. Gliding snow masses are the consequence. At higher altitudes, ridgeline snowdrift accumulations can be trigger-prone. The old snowpack is compact and stable by and large. Below 1300 m there is hardly any snow on the ground.
