Highlights

On extremely steep slopes natural loose snow slides are to be expected. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Avalanche Activity

On extremely steep slopes natural loose snow slides are to be expected. Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

On extremely steep slopes natural loose snow slides are to be expected as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. On steep grassy slopes individual gliding avalanches are possible. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. Especially slopes adjacent to ridgelines are unfavourable. Avalanches are only small.

Snowpack Structure

5 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 1800 m. Over a wide area new snow is lying on a moist old snowpack. This snow as well as the small wind slabs are bonding quite well with the old snowpack. Fresh wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The snowpack will be wet all the way through below approximately 2000 m. At low altitude only a little snow is now lying.

Tendency

Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to softening of the snowpack. Individual gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible.
