Avalanche Activity

Wet snow represents the main danger.

As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase a little in all aspects. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible. Wet avalanches can in some cases release the saturated snowpack and reach medium size. In steep gullies avalanches can in very isolated cases reach areas without any snow cover.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack will be wet all the way through. The weather will be warm. Some rain will fall from late morning. The weather conditions will give rise to thorough wetting of the snowpack. This situation will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack, especially on steep shady slopes.

Tendency

Decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the temperature drops.
