Field notes

Almost impossible to predict precisely, even when the warning signs are visible. A crack visible on the snowpack surface formed by snow-gliding on steep, and particularly grass-covered slopes. Areas below slopes with visible glide cracks should be avoided whenever possible due to threat of gliding sluffs or avalanches.EAWS glossary — gaps that open in the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary down to the ground — are often precursors to release, but they don't tell you when. A glide avalanche can release minutes after the cracks appear, or weeks later, or not at all. Some release without any visible warning. Avoid lingering anywhere near glide cracks: above them, alongside them, or below in the runout.

Avalanche Activity

Gliding snow requires caution.

More gliding avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2400 m. Dry avalanches can still in isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. This applies in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation only isolated mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible, in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes.

Snowpack & Weather

Snowpack

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good over a wide area. The surface of the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary will soften during the day, in particular on sunny slopes below approximately 2400 m, as well as in all Direction in which a slope faces as indicated by compass direction of the fall line; i.e. a north slope faces in a northerly direction.EAWS glossary at low and intermediate altitudes. Below approximately 2000 m: The snowpack is wet all the way through. The somewhat older wind slabs are lying on Transparent, frequently flat crystals forming on the snowpack when moist air settles on the surface. It forms most often during cold, clear, humid nights. Once it is blanketed by fresh fallen snow, surface hoar is one of the most critical weak layer. See also: www.snowcrystals.itEAWS glossary in some places on shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. This applies especially in the west.
