Chiemgau Alps East

Increasing sink-in depths in the terrain indicate a softening of the snowpack.

Up to summit altitudes the snowpack is thoroughly wet down to the ground. Since the night will be cloudy only a thin melt-freeze crust can form which softens swiftly during the day. When softening the snowpack forfeits its firmness and bonding. Frequently even the snowpack base has become wet which promotes gliding of the snowpack. On sunny slopes the ground is almost bare up to about 1400m.

As a consequence of high pressure weather there will be a clear wet snow avalanche danger cycle in the next few days with favorable conditions in the morning.

Avalanche danger is moderate. The predominant avalanche problem is wet snow. In line with a minor avalanche danger cycle small to medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches can release in steep rocky terrain in all aspects. It is in addition possible that glide snow avalanches start gliding over the smooth ground on steep grass-covered slopes and in forest clearances which can grow to large size in isolated cases.
