Danger level

Avalanche Problem
Wet snow

 

Moist snow slides as the day progresses.
A clear night will be followed in the early morning by favourable avalanche conditions generally, but the danger of wet and gliding avalanches will increase later. The avalanches are rather small. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep grassy slopes and in steep rocky terrain.
Southern border of Aran: Some fresh snow and the small wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
Snowpack
>
The snowpack is well consolidated and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases.
Above approximately 2000 m there are 50 to 60 cm of snow. At low altitude from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
Tuesday: Slight increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches as a consequence of the rain.
