Avalanche Activity

Wet snow requires caution. Weakly bonded old snow at high altitude.

As a consequence of warming moist and wet avalanches are to be expected, this applies already in the early morning. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects. The danger of wet avalanches will increase during the day. Weakly bonded old snow is to be evaluated critically, in particular on steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Avalanches can in some cases be released in near-surface layers and reach large size in isolated cases.

Snowpack Structure

As a consequence of sharply rising temperatures and high relative humidity an unfavourable avalanche situation will develop by the early morning. The meteorological conditions will cause a weakening of the snowpack. Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the top section of the snowpack in particular on steep shady slopes.

Tendency

Wet snow requires caution. Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.
