Avalanche Activity
Wet-snow avalanches in all aspects
Avalanche danger above 1500 m is CONSIDERABLE, below that altitude danger is MODERATE. Wet-snow avalanches can release in all aspects, most small-to-medium, isolated large-sized avalanches, most between 1500 and 2400 m. Apart from wet loose-snow avalanches and isolated wet-slabs, glide-snow avalanches also have to be expected. As of about 2500 m, new snow and storm winds will generate fresh drifts which can often be triggered by minimum additional loading.
Snowpack Structure
On the compact old snowpack with melt-freeze crusts, 10-30 cm of moist-to-wet snow has been deposited. As of about 2500 m there is also dry snow (mostly windblown).
Weather Synopsis
On Thursday, visibility will be reduced due to clouds and fog. Intermittent rainfall. Strong-to-stormy W/NW winds. At 2000 m: +2 degrees. On Thursday night the skies will clear. On Friday, good visibility. Sunshine. The strong winds will recede. At 2000 m: +7 degrees.
Tendency
Springtime conditions at the end of December.
