Avalanche Activity

Wet snow avalanches are possible as the weather warms up, especially in the mid-mountains

The most dangerous places are those with blown snow, where a heavy load can trigger a small to medium-sized Avalanche. Greater caution is needed in ravines and gullys, where there may be large amounts of blowing snow. Individual wet snow avalanches are possible as the weather warms up, especially in the mid-mountains.

Snowpack Structure

The snow base is uneven due to the influence of wind. There is some light snow in the sheltered areas of the high alpine regions, but for the most part the snow base is hard and covered with a crust. Greater caution is needed, especially in places where wind has created new snow layers. The thaw has softened the snowpack in the mid-mountains.

Weather Forecast

It will be partially clear. Low clouds will extend inland from the Primorska region, but it will remain quite clear in the Alps with a few drizzles. There will be light to moderate westerly winds. Temperatures will be 3 °C at 1500 m and around 0 °C at 2500 m.

Tendency

It will remain warm, with isolated avalanches of southern snow still possible, especially in the central mountains. Above the tree line, there will still be dangerous spots of blowing snow.
