Avalanche Problems

Avalanche Activity

Moist avalanches can be released by people, but they will be small in most cases.

As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist snow slides during the day being released will increase a little, in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes, and at the base of rock walls. Avalanches can additionally in very isolated cases be released on extremely steep shady slopes. This applies in particular in gulliesUsually a steep, elongated, eroded trench; typically prone to snowdrift accumulation.EAWS glossary and bowlsRounded or elongated concavity; typically tending to accumulate snowdrift.EAWS glossary at elevated altitudes. Avalanches are small. 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

The weather will be warm. A little snow is lying.

Snowpack & Weather

Snowpack ▾

Steep sunny slopes: The high temperatures will give rise to rapid moistening of the snowpackSnow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary. Steep shady slopes: In isolated cases various wind slab layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpackSnow layers deposited from earlier precipitation, prior to fresh fallen snow. Old snow layers consist of metamorphosed snow crystals.EAWS glossary. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
