Avalanche Activity

As a consequence of the new snow there will be an increase in the danger of dry avalanches.

The fresh snow and local mostly small wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in all aspects above the tree line. In isolated cases avalanches can release the saturated snowpack. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. More frequent loose snow avalanches are to be expected. In the event of prolonged bright spells this applies in particular. With the end of the snowfall, the activity of gliding avalanches will increase. This applies in particular on steep, snow-free grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.

Snowpack Structure

20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall until Wednesday above approximately 2000 m. Above approximately 1700 m snow will fall in the northeast. The wind will be strong. New snow is lying mostly on a wet old snowpack.

Tendency

As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation the snowpack will consolidate on Thursday. Gradual increase in danger of wet avalanches.
