Snowpack Structure

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good over a wide area. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day, especially on steep sunny slopes. Wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack. They are only small and unlikely to be released now. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is now lying.

Tendency

Individual wet loose snow avalanches are possible as the day progresses. Gliding avalanches can also occur.

Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger will prevail. Gliding snow requires caution.

On steep grassy slopes more gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. This applies in particular on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised in areas with glide cracks. Wind slabs can be released in isolated cases, but mostly only by large additional loads, on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines.
