Avalanche Activity

Not much snow at intermediate altitudes in the Bavarian Alps.

Avalanche danger is generally low. Main problem: wet snow. During the course of the day, isolated small superficial wet snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Isolated small glide snow avalanches can trigger at ground level on steep smooth grass-covered slopes and in sparsely wooded zones. Glide cracks indicate danger.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack has settled well, by and large, and is stable. As a result of rain showers and daytime warming the snowpack surface is becoming thoroughly moist. As a consequence, the snowpack forfeits its firmness. On sunny slopes the ground is becoming increasingly bare up to intermediate altitudes.

Tendency

No improvement of the snow situation expected on the weekend. By and large safe avalanche conditions.
