Avalanche Activity
Rainfall on Saturday night: favours wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches
Avalanche danger is moderate. Main problem: gliding snow. Up to summit levels on steep grassy slopes and in steep forest clearances in all aspects, small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Glide cracks are danger signs. Wet-snow avalanches can trigger naturally in steep rocky terrain. Above the treeline, small drifts can be prone to triggering. Danger zones occur in all aspects near to and distant from ridgelines, increase in size and frequeny with ascending altitude.
Snowpack Structure
Rain impact on Saturday night will weaken the snowpack, wet-snow avalanches can trigger. The moist layer at ground level is wetter, favouring gliding snowpack movements. Stormy winds will accompany the snowfall, new drifts will accumulate, generally bonding well, but deteriorating with ascending altitude.
Tendency
Avalanche danger will increase due to higher temperatures, wind and precipitation.
