Danger level


Avalanche Problem
Wet snow


Favorable conditions

Avalanche danger is low. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, increasingly frequent moist slides are possible.

Snowpack

Recent fresh snow and drifts are now well bonded with the old snowpack surface. The below-average old snowpack is well consolidated all in all. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, increasingly frequent gliding snow activity is expected.

Tendency

Springtime conditions are gradually taking over, with slight daytime rise in avalanche danger levels


Danger level



On shady slopes, isolated near-surface weak layers

Predominantly favorable conditions prevail, with low avalanche danger. Isolated danger zones occur at high altitudes esp. on shady ridgeline steep slopes, they can trigger small slab avalanches in steep shady terrain. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate consideration. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, moist slides are increasingly possible.

Snowpack

Fresh snow and drifts of recent days have bonded well with the old snowpack by and large. Above 2200m on shady slopes, isolated near-surface weak layers are evident. The below-average old snowpack is well consolidated all in all. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, increasingly frequent gliding snow activity is expected.

Tendency

Springtime conditions are gradually taking over, with slight daytime rise in avalanche danger levels
