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. Thus far only a little snow is lying.

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. In addition further mostly small gliding avalanches are possible. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep grassy slopes. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.

Outlook

Constant avalanche danger

Gliding snow requires caution.

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. Only a little snow is now lying. Below approximately 2000 m: The snowpack is wet all the way through.
