Avalanche Problem
Gliding snow
2000m


Increasingly frequent gliding snow activity

Avalanche danger below 2000m is moderate, above that altitude danger is low. Gliding snow is the main problem. On very steep slopes with deep enough snow and a smooth ground surface, glide-snow avalanches possible to an increasing extent. Avalanches of medium size are possible. In addition, small wet loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally, esp. on sunny, extremely steep, rocky slopes.

Snowpack

Due to daytime warming it softens up rapidly during the day. The snowpack is then moist on the surface esp. in places where the snow is shallow, forfeiting firmness, in some places it is utterly wet. On shady slopes at high altitudes is the loose snow still dry. Snowpack analysis and snow profiles show good snowpack stability by and large. On south-facing slopes the ground is becoming bare of snow.

Tendency

Due to intensifying winds and fresh snow, danger of dry slab avalanches could increase at mid-week.

Danger of falls on icy surfaces

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. Small loose-snow avalanches can triggered during the daytime hours, mostly on extremely steep slopes at intermediate altitudes. On very steep slopes with deep enough snow and a smooth ground surface, glide-snow avalanches possible.
