Avalanche Activity

Well settled snowpack

Avalanche danger above 1400 m is MODERATE, below that altitude danger is LOW. The older snowdrifts are triggerable by large additional loading, in very steep terrain by minmum additional loading. Most critical: N/E facing slopes and gullies. Small-to-medium slab avalanches most triggerable in transitions from shallow to deep snow. Naturally triggered small glide-snow avalanches are possible on very steep grassy slopes.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack was able to settle, bonding between layers is generally good. Some places have powder.

Weather Synopsis

On Tuesday, lots of sunshine and good visibility. Hardly any wind. At 2000 m: -7 degrees.

Tendency

As a result of easterly winds on Wednesday, small ridgeline snowdrifts will accumulate.
