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 got moist. During the night surface hoar will form which is possibly unstable.

Tendency

Increasing avalanche danger on Friday is possible. South of the Alos few snow precipitation are possible. Wind peaks 70 - 100 km/h. Temperatures will be -9 degrees on 2.000 m.


Danger level


Avalanche Problem
No distinct avalanche problem


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. In high altitudes a partially unstable surface hoar cover has formed. In medium altitude the snow ist moist/wet.

Tendency

Friday increasing avalanche danger is possible. Temperature drop! A coldfront will pass through which causes storm.
