    • Above 1,900 m

Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of the solar radiation, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase gradually in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m.

The old snowpack remains unfavourable especially on steep shady slopes. As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures and solar radiation the snowpack consolidated. The high temperatures as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. Above approximately 1800 m small moist and wet avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures and solar radiation the snowpack consolidated. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will already soften in the late morning. The old snowpack remains weakly bonded especially on very steep shady slopes.
