Valsavaranche

In the late morning below approximately 2800 m there will be an increase in the danger of moist avalanches within the current danger level.

In the late morning below approximately 2800 m there will be an increase in the danger of moist avalanches within the current danger level.

The spring-like weather conditions in the late morning will give rise to slight moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. The danger of moist avalanches will increase a little during the day. They can occur in particular in starting zones where previous releases have taken place. In addition a latent danger of ground avalanches exists, in particular on very steep grassy slopes. Avalanches can additionally in very isolated cases be released in the old snowpack on steep shady slopes. These avalanche prone locations are rare but are difficult to recognise. In some localities some new snow to above 1500 m.

The conditions are spring-like. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust. The solar radiation will give rise in the late morning to slight moistening of the snowpack especially at intermediate altitudes. Towards its surface, the snowpack is unfavourably layered. Less snow than usual is lying. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

In some localities some new snow above approximately 2000 m. The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level. The conditions remain spring-like.
