Avalanche Activity

Favorable conditions

Avalanche danger is low. Due to solar radiation, natural releases (loose dry and loose moist) are to be expected in extremely steep terrain (>40°). Small releases are the rule.

Snowpack Structure

Solar radiation makes the snowpack wet, it loses its firmness. The snow is rapidly disappearing.

Weather Forecast

On Monday night skies will be mostly clear but for a few clouds and Sahara dust reducing outgoing radiation somewhat. On Tuesday lots of sunshine, high cirrus clouds, southerly winds intensifying (to 80 km/hr) also away from Main Alpine Ridge. At 2000 m: from 4 rising to 8 degrees. On Tuesday night, clear skies, brisk southerly winds, but less than yesterday.

Tendency

Classic springtime will continue, danger potential is receding due to the natural melting process.
