Danger level


Avalanche Problem
No distinct avalanche problem


Generally good weather conditions-little snow!

Low avalanche danger. Caution: spontaneous small loose-snow avalanches increasing risk especially on sunny slopes.

Snowpack

Snow base is still thin without significant weak layers. Only in high shady slopes the snow base is built by faceted snow crystals without sufficient stability. Due to warming and radiation the snow cover will get moist especially in southern areas.

Tendency

Thursday will get very mild and sunny. Temperatures in 2.000 m will be around +8 degrees.


Danger level

Avalanche Problem
Wind slab
2200m


Very warm in all altitudes!

Low avalanche danger. Caution in the beginning of gullies and bowls above 2.200 m in the northern sector. Slab avalanches are possible with high additional loads. Small wet snow avalanches are possible in all heights due to warming.

Snowpack

the snow cover has settled. Snowdrift covers surface hoar/soft snow layer above 2 .000m in the northern sector. Due to radiotion and warming the stabilit of the snow cover variies during the day. in medium altitudes wet snow.

Tendency

Decreasing danger of slab avalanches.
