Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of the new snow there will be an increase in the avalanche danger. Weakly bonded old snow is to be avoided.

The new snow can be released by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep shady slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. These avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are difficult to recognise. In isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size, especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 20 cm of snow will fall on Thursday. In some places new snow is lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack on very steep west, north and east facing slopes, especially above approximately 2400 m on the Main Alpine Ridge.

Tendency

Hardly any decrease in danger.
