Avalanche Problem
Wind slab

During the course of the day fresh danger spots in some places.

Low avalanche danger. Nevertheless fresh snowdrift deposits are forming in some places in shady steep areas which can be triggered by small additional loads. Danger of falling is higher than the danger of being buried.

Snowpack

Partially a thin snowdrift layer is forming in higher shady areas on top of a layer wich kinetic metamorphosed. This weak layer can be prone to triggering. Otherwise the new snow is sufficiently bonding with the old snow cover. Weak layers within the snow base (kinetic metamorphosis) are hardly prone to triggering. Blow-off areas are often hard and icy.

Tendency

Wednesday night little amount of new snowfall. During the course of the day it will clear up. Snowdrift is partially prone to triggering.

Treeline

Partially moderate avalanche danger - considerate fresh snowdrift

Avalanche danger is low in the morning but increases during the course of the day above the treeline to moderate. Some new snow and brisk winds lead to snowdrift accumulations. Especially in very steep entries in gullies and behind ridgelines in the expositions northwest via north till east slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads. Danger spots are increasing during the course of the day.

Snowpack

A fresh snowdrift cover accumulates in higher altitudes on top of a snow surface which is weakened by kinetic metamorphosis. This weak layer can be disturbed. Otherwise the new snow bonds very good with the old snow cover only in some places the bonded layers with different hardness can be prone to triggering. Weak layers within the snow base (kinetic metamorphosis) can hardly be triggered. Blow-off areas are often hard and icy.

Tendency

Wednesday night little amount of new snowfall. During the course of the day it will clear up. Snowdrift is partially prone to triggering.
