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.

GM.10 GM.1

Field notes

Persistent Snowpack 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 are very challenging to recognise. Distinctive noise (resembling a “whumpf” sound) occurring when a weak layer beneath a slab collapses. The air of the weak layer is forced outside the snowpack, with the resulting whumpf sound being heard. The sound usually indicates an unstable situation and can be accompanied by surface cracking. A whumpf is a clear avalanche alert.EAWS glossary sounds and shooting cracks are typical when present, but you can have a serious weak layer with no warning signs at the surface. Knowledge of how the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary has evolved is essential. SLF's travel advice is direct: travel conservatively, avoid terrain where the consequences of being caught are large, and treat the history of weather and snow as more important than what you can see today.

Avalanche Activity

Wet snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.

As a consequence of new snow and wind, wind slabs will form in particular in Areas above approximately 3000 m (particularly glaciated areas).EAWS glossary. On very steep slopes the moist avalanches can be released naturally and reach medium size in isolated cases. As a consequence of warming there will be an increase in the avalanche danger. Individual Locations 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 above approximately 2500 m. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads and reach medium size. In very isolated cases these can penetrate down to the ground and reach large size.

Outlook

Constant avalanche danger

30 April 2026

The avalanche danger will persist.

Snowpack & Weather

Snowpack

The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to rapid moistening of the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary below approximately 2800 m. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften quickly. Some snow will fall in some localities. This applies above approximately 2400 m. Some rain will fall over a wide area. Steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2500 m: Faceted Snowpack 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 Snow layers deposited from earlier precipitation, prior to fresh fallen snow. Old snow layers consist of metamorphosed snow crystals.EAWS glossary.
