Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of warming, the activity of small moist and wet avalanches will increase. Gliding avalanches can also be released in the morning on rare occasions.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. A few gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of warming during the day, the likelihood of moist loose snow avalanches being released will increase a little in particular on steep grassy slopes in all altitude zones.
