Avalanche Problem
Wet snow

1800m

New snow

2000m

 

New snow and wet snow represent the main danger.
In particular on steep sunny slopes individual small moist avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. These can be released, even by a single winter sport participant.
The new snow of yesterday can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant in particular on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. This applies in particular in the south.
Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
Snowpack
>
Especially at the southern border of Aran up to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen since Saturday above approximately 2000 m. The light wind has transported some snow.
Intermediate and high altitudes: The snowpack is favourably layered and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a crust.
Sunny slopes: Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise from early morning to increasing moistening of the snowpack.
At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
The danger of moist avalanches will increase a little during the day.
