Avalanche Problems

Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Avalanches can scarcely be released. Very isolated avalanche prone locationsLocations delineated by aspect or altitude where avalanches can trigger and people or objects are at risk.EAWS glossary are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Outlook

→ Constant avalanche danger

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Snowpack & Weather

Snowpack ▾

Faceted weak layersSnowpack layer in which the crystals are poorly bonded and the layer has the potential to fail. Typical crystals in dry weak layers causing avalanches are : precipitation particles; surface hoar; faceted crystals; hollow crystals; graupel. Generally >1mm in size, loose grains with few bonds Wet weak layers can be formed by all snow crystal/grain types.EAWS glossary exist in the bottom section of the snowpackSnow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary on shady slopes, in particular above approximately 2600 m. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones.
