Avalanche Activity

Snow profiles and stability tests have shown the favourable bonding of the snowpack.

The snowpack will be generally well bonded. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard crust. As the temperature drops hardly any more moist and wet avalanches are to be expected. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the snowpack on shady slopes. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in high Alpine regions.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is favourably layered and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. Field observations have indicated good snowpack stability.
