Avalanche Activity

Increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches in the course of the day.

As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase quickly in all aspects. In extremely steep terrain individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are possible. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. In addition individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep grassy slopes. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.

Snowpack Structure

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften quickly. Below approximately 2000 m only a little snow is now lying.

Tendency

Wet loose snow avalanches and gliding avalanches are possible in isolated cases.
