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 snow has settled and, especially on the Sunny slopes, has already transformed quite well. Layers of snow have bonded together and the surface is crusty in many places. Several weak layers of faceted snow crystals and coarse grains are found 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.
