Avalanche Activity

Snowfall to above 2000 m. As a consequence of the precipitation the avalanche prone locations will become more prevalent.

Above approximately 2000 m snow will fall until late morning over a wide area. As a consequence of the precipitation more small and medium-sized dry and wet avalanches are possible. From late morning in some localities danger level 3 (considerable) will be reached in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation. The fresh snow as well as the isolated winds slabs that are forming can be released by a single winter sport participant above approximately 2200 m. Above approximately 2700 m and: Avalanches can in isolated cases be triggered in the old snowpack and reach large size.

Snowpack Structure

The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night. Above approximately 2000 m snow will fall until late morning over a wide area. The sleet will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack in particular at low and intermediate altitudes. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the snowpack at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Below approximately 2000 m a little snow is lying.

Tendency

Persistent snowfall to intermediate altitudes.
