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 represents the main danger. As a consequence of the rain natural wet avalanches are possible.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will already be elevated in the early morning. As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of wet avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep shady slopes. Only isolated natural avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones.

Outlook

Decreasing avalanche danger

16 April 2026

Decrease in danger of wet avalanches as the precipitation eases.

Snowpack & Weather

Snowpack

The surface of the Snow deposited on the ground in a multiplicity of layers.EAWS glossary will freeze very little and will already be soft in the early morning. Up to high altitudes rain will fall. The rain will give rise to a loss of strength within the snowpack especially on steep shady slopes.
