Danger level


Avalanche Problem
Wet snow


Particularly in early morning, danger of falls on frozen snowpack surface

Avalanche danger is low. Wet snow can be problematic. On extremely steep sunny slopes, isolated small wet loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Wherever moistness reaches down to ground level, small In isolated cases, small glide-snow avalanches cannot be ruled out on steep grass-covered slopes.

Snowpack

On sunny slopes the ground is bare of snow up to high altitudes. The remains of the snowpack are melt-freeze encrusted in early morning. Due to solar radiation, bonding disperses in near-surface snow, it turns to firn snow and the snowpack becomes more and more moist/wet. On shady slopes there is dry powder atop a compact snowpack. On shady slopes where snow is shallow, isolated layers of faceted crystals have persisted inside the snowpack. Tests confirm that the snowpack is stable.

Tendency

Avalanche danger remains low
