Avalanche Activity

MODERATE avalanche danger above the treeline

Avalanche danger above the treeline is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. Danger zones due to trigger-sensitive snowdrifts occur in E/S terrain. Frequency of danger zones increases with ascending altitude, as snowdrifts deepen the snowpack can reach larger size, mostly with large additional loading.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack was able to settle somewhat. Snowdrift accumulations are quite hard. Inside the fundament are weak faceted layers which weaken the entire snowpack. On shady slopes, surface hoar is forming afresh.

Weather Synopsis

Wednesday will start with only a little cloud. Moderaet (later on, brisk) E/SE winds. At 2000 m: -15 degrees.

Tendency

As a result of southerly winds, widespread sunshine on Thursday. Winds will be strong in the morning, lighter in the afternoon. Temperatures will rise. Danger zones will increase on north-facing slopes.
