Avalanche report

Avalanche danger in morning above 2200 m is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. As of late morning, danger at all altitdues rises to MODERATE. Due to solar radiation, increasing wet-snow activity is expected during the daytime. Beginning on extremely steep slopes (>40°) in southern and eastern aspects, it will then spread to all aspects, releases small-to-medium. also triggerable by 1 person. Above 2200 m, near-surface weak layers can trigger a slab by 1 person, esp. on very steep slopes (>35°) on W/N/NE facing slopes, releases medium-sized. Below 2600 m where the snow is sufficient, naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches can be expected on steep slopes, particularly where the recent fresh snow fell on bare ground. Avoid zones below glide cracks.

Solar radiation makes the snowpack wet, it loses its firmness. In transitions from old snowpack to fresh snow are faceted layers above 2200 m near crusts which are potential weak layers for slab avalanches. On steep rocky slopes which have again been snow on and grassy slopes, the snowpack is wet down to the ground and can glide away. Up to 2300 m on south facing slopes a melt-freeze crust will form on Saturday night which is capable of bearing loads, then turning to firn in daytime. On north-facing slopes, breakable crusts can be expected up to 2400 m.

Classic springtime situation will continue. The persistent weak layer will recede only slowly.

Avalanche danger rises to MODERATE during the course of the day. Where snow is sufficient, small glide-snow avalanches can release naturally cases in extremely steep terrain (>40°), especially where the ground was previously bare of snow. Avoid zones below glide cracks. Due to solar radiation and warmth, the snowpack becomes increasingly moist, and naturally triggerd avalanche activity increases during the course of the day, releases mostly small.

Solar radiation makes the snowpack wet, it loses its firmness. On steep rocky slopes which have again been snow on and grassy slopes, the snowpack is wet down to the ground and can glide away. The recent fresh fallen snow is quickly diminishing due to melting.

Classic springtime, danger potential is receding due to the natural melting process.

Avalanche danger is low. Due to solar radiation, natural releases (loose dry and loose moist) are to be expected in extremely steep terrain (>40°). Small releases are the rule. Fresh snowdrift accumulations in high altitude ridgeline terrain are small, can trigger a small slab. Danger of falling outweighs that of snow masses.
