Avalanche Activity

The weather will be cloudy over a wide area. As the moisture increases the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase.

The weather conditions will bring about a weakening of the snowpack. In particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes there will be an increase in the danger of moist and wet avalanches. Gliding avalanches can also occur. As the day progresses the likelihood of avalanches being released will increase also on steep north facing slopes above approximately 1800 m. Some medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in case of a large load. Backcountry touring calls for caution and restraint.

Snowpack Structure

The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack. The new snow of recent weeks is loosely bonded on shady slopes above approximately 1800 m. Weak layers exist in the snowpack.

Tendency

The weather will be sunny over a wide area. Gradual decrease in danger as the temperature drops.
