Individual avalanche prone locations

Individual avalanche prone locations

The avalanche risk is low. Wet snow is the main problem. Occasionally, small loose snow avalanches can detach themselves from the steep terrain interspersed with rocks. Smaller gliding avalanches are possible on individual, very steep slopes with smooth ground.

On very steep north-facing slopes at higher altitudes, medium slab avalanches can also be triggered in isolated cases with a large additional load. This is particularly the case at transitions from a little to a lot of snow.

It is mostly cloudy at night and outgoing longwave radiation is limited. The snow surface is already soft in many places in the morning. The snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes and is often wet towards the ground. Occasionally, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep under a compact snowpack on the shady slopes of higher summits and areas adjacent to the summit. On the south side, the ground is becoming more and more puffy right up to the summits. There is hardly any snow at low altitudes.
