Little change in avalanche danger levels anticipated

Avalanche Activity

Rapidly rising daytime danger of wet-snow avalanches.

Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, increasingly frequent wet-snow avalanches can be expected, mostly small-sized releases, esp. on steep E/S/W-facing slopes. In the morning: beware falls on the hardened crusts.

Snowpack Structure

Clear skies over far-reaching areas, surface crusts will form and freeze which are capable of bearing loads. Sunshine and warmth will rapidly soften the snowpack on E/W/S-facing slopes during the daytime. The snowpack at low and intermediate altitudes is thoroughly wet. Below 1600m there is hardly any snow on the ground.
