Weak layers persist deep in the snowpack

The problem is the weak layers in the snowpack, which are deeper in the snowpack. If the load exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the deeper Weak layers, a deep and large avalanche can be triggered. There are many such weak layers, especially on axis above the forest.

Snowpack

dp.1: deep persistent weak layer

The snowpack freezes at night, then hardens during the day, especially in the mid-mountains on Sunny slopes. The crust strengthens and becomes thicker. This process will be less pronounced today. The snow has settled and is already well consolidated, especially on the Sunny slopes. The snow layers have stuck together. Several weak layers of shreds and flaked grains are appearing deep below the surface in the old snow cover.

Tendency

It will clear up on Tuesday. Faster in the high alpine regions than in the mid mountains. There will be no major warming. The danger of avalanches will remain similar.
