Avalanche Activity

New snow on hard ground

Moderate avalanche danger, level 2, is mainly concentrated above the forest boundary. New snow accumulation of 10cm is expected, locally up to 20cm. This will not be well bonded to the hard base layer. Avalanche release will be possible even with small additional loads mainly with point detachment. Spontaneous avalanches may also form during the day as the weather gradually warms up.

Snowpack Structure

The older snow cover is mostly well consolidated and settled. Deeper in the snow cover there is a layer of old angular snow which poses only a very localised risk. Up to 20cm of new snow is expected to be added locally on top of this hard surface, which will not be interbedded with the underlying layer.

Tendency

Snowfall and gradual warming is increasing.
