Avalanche Activity

Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in isolated cases.

Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. These can as before be released by large loads and reach large size in isolated cases. The current avalanche situation calls for careful route selection. As the temperature drops there will be a decrease in the danger of moist and wet avalanches. Some snow will fall from the afternoon.

Snowpack Structure

The spring-like weather conditions gave rise to gradual consolidation of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes below approximately 2500 m. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften later than the day before. Towards its surface, the snowpack is dry; its surface consists of loosely bonded snow. This applies in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. Some medium-sized and, in isolated cases, large avalanches have been released by people on Sunday.

Tendency

As a consequence of new snow and strong wind the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase.
