Avalanche Activity

Wet and gliding snow represent the main danger. Gliding snow is to be avoided.

As a consequence of warming during the day small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. In particular on steep grassy slopes gliding avalanches are possible. In addition the sometimes large wind slabs must be taken into account.

Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes. The spring-like weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack. This applies in particular on sunny slopes at intermediate and high altitudes, as well as on shady slopes below approximately 2200 m.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist. Low danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides will be encountered in some localities.
