Avalanche Activity

Isolated danger zones. Wet loose-snow avalanches possible on very steep sunny slopes.

Avalanches can be triggered in the old snow even by one sole skier on shady slopes above 2000m, mostly medium-sized releases. Due to daytime warming and solar radiaation, moist loose-snow avalanches are possible, mostly small releases on very steep sunny slopes. On very steep grass-covered slopes glide-snow avalanches are possible, mostly small sized releases, esp. on very steep sunny slopes.

Snowpack Structure

Clear skies widespread. Due to low temperatures and low air moisture, near-surface crusts form above 2400m. In the lowermost part of the snopwpack there are faceted, expansively metamorphosed weak layers evident, esp. above 2000m. Fresh snowdrift accumulations are being deposited atop soft layers.

Weather Forecast

On Wednesday, superb weather will continue, cloudless skies, outstanding visibility. Light winds, temperatures rising. At 1000m: +9 degrees; at 2000m: 0 degrees. Source: GeoSphere
