Avalanche Activity

In the afternoon as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of dry and moist avalanches.

The rather small wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on steep shady slopes and generally at high altitude. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in extremely steep terrain. Even a small snow slide can sweep people along and give rise to falls. In the afternoon as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of dry and moist avalanches.

Snowpack Structure

Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise in the afternoon to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. The wind slabs have bonded generally well with the old snowpack. Adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas as well as in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Over a wide area less snow than usual is lying.
