2800m


Main problem: wet snow

Avalanche danger below 2800m is moderate. On steep slopes below 2800m which have not yet discharged, small-to-medium sized wet avalanches can trigger naturally at any time of day or night or else be triggered by persons. Also isolated small-to-medium sized glide-snow avalanches are possible. In high-alpine zones, small dry-snow slab avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier in isolated cases, particularly on steep wind-loaded slopes and in shady gullies and bowls.

Snowpack

The snowpack is compact, moist or wet up to high altitutudes, is moist or wet already in the early morning hours, in high-alpine zones with settled, often wind-impacted snow atop a melt-freeze crust. Inside the snowpack accumulations in places are loose layers. Due to solar radiation and regional rain seepage up to high altitudes, the snowpack forfeits its firmness on steep slopes which have not yet discharged.

Tendency

Little change expected

Isolated danger zones for wet-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. In isolated cases, small glide-snow or wet-snow avalanches can release in steep terrain which has not yet discharged or it can be triggered by persons.

Snowpack

On sunny slopes, the ground is becoming bare. What little snow there is, is moist-to-wet (0-degree isotherm) and often forms a crust capable of bearing loads after a night of clear skies. Daytime warming and solar radiation soften the crust and make it forfeit its firmness.
