Avalanche Activity

Avoid zones below glide cracks

Avalanche danger is LOW. On steep grass-covered slopes in all aspects which have not yet discharged, glide-snow avalanches reaching medium size are possible at any time of day or night. Avoid zones below glide cracks. Naturally triggered wet loose-snow avalanches can be expected in steep sunny terrain, activity increases as the day progresses, releases mostly small.

Snowpack Structure

A thin melt-freeze crust can form at night, and quickly softens during the day. The fresh snow from the beginning of the week has settled, generally well bonded with the old snowpack surface. On sunny slopes the slopes were often bare of snow before the snowfall on Sunday. The snowpack glides over very steep slopes on smooth ground.

Weather Forecast

On Friday, intermittent sunshine, cloudbanks passing through (sometimes heavy, creating diffuse light), the peaks will be in the clear. It will stay dry. Winds only light. At 2000 m: 4-7 degrees.

Tendency

Danger of wet loose-snow avalanches will decrease.
