Avalanche Activity

On extremely steep sunny slopes, small moist loose-snow avalanches expected

Avalanche danger is moderate. Main problem: new snow. Due to solar radiation, small loose snow avalanches can trigger naturally in steep rocky terrain in all aspects. On steep slopes with smooth ground, in addition, glide-snow avalanches are possible. On the Main Allgau Ridge these releases can grow to medium size in isolated cases.

Snowpack Structure

Widespread 20cm of new snow, in the Allgäu at highest altitudes in the Allgau up to half a meter of new snow, deposited atop a stable old snowpack or bare ground. In near surface layers the fresh fallen snow is often deposited atop a breakable melt-freeze crust. The snowpack basis is wet over far-reaching areas.

Tendency

Transition to springtime conditions, including daytime rise in avalanche danger
