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

Individual avalanche prone locations for wet avalanches are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual mostly small wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular in case of releases originating from extremely steep shady starting zones that still retain some snow.

Outlook

Constant avalanche danger

2 May 2026

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Snowpack & Weather

Snowpack
