Avalanche Activity

Wet snow down below, wet-snow problem up above

Avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE. Intensive rainfall in places can trigger wet-snow avalanches (loose and slabs) naturally in steep terrain in all aspects. In high starting zones, avalanches can grow to large size, mostly small-to-medium releases. Also glide-snow avalanches. Above 2200 m, small-toö-medium loose-snow avalanches and slabs can trigger naturally in all aspects relatively easily.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is compact and thoroughly moist-to-wet. Embedded weak layers are mostly near the surface.

Weather Forecast

Very windy in the nighttime hours, mostly cloudy, intermittent rainfall. On Easter Monday, poor visibility, rainfall to over 2000 m, often heavy. In afternoon the snowfall level will drop, by evening to 1500 m, a few cm of fresh snow is expected in afternoon. Winds will be light, slackening off further. At 2000 m: dropping from +5 to 0 degrees by evening.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels will recede
