Avalanche Activity

Beware wet snow

Since the snowpack is becoming thoroughly wet, moist/wet avalanches can be triggered in the old snow even by one sole skier in all aspects on very steep shady slopes and in transitions into gullies and bowls, esp at high altitudes. Isolated danger zones occur esp. on very steep shady slopes at high altitudes.

Snowpack Structure

Some rainfall below 2000m, and some snowfall, esp. at high altitudes. Nocturnal outgoing longwave radiation is nearly absent. The snowpack is moist. In the lowermost part of the snowpack there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident, esp. above 2000.

Weather Forecast

Isolated showers in early morning, later slackening off, then the clouds will disperse and sunny intervals are expected. In the afternoon, local showers again expected. Moderate SW winds. At 2000m: +1 degree. Source: GeoSphere
