Field notes

Rolling snowballs, deep penetration when you step or ski, and small natural slides are clear signals that the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary is losing strength. After a clear, cold night the surface often freezes into a strong supporting Layer of hard-compacted snow resulting from a melt-freeze process or wind.EAWS glossary, and conditions are favourable in the early morning. After a warm, overcast night, the problem may be present from the start of the day. Plan early returns and watch the runout zones below you.

Avalanche Activity

Wet snow requires caution.

As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase. This applies 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. Avalanches are rather small but easily released. Avalanches can in isolated cases release deeper layers of the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary and reach medium size.

Outlook

Constant avalanche danger

14 April 2026

The danger of wet avalanches will persist.

Snowpack & Weather

Snowpack

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. Some rain will fall. These weather conditions will give rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack.
