Treeline

Wet snow

2400m

 

New snow and wind slabs represent the main danger. Weakly bonded old snow in particular on steep shady slopes.
As a consequence of new snow and a light to moderate wind, mostly small wind slabs formed especially at the southern and eastern borders of Aran. They can be released easily. or in isolated cases naturally,. The avalanche prone locations are to be found at transitions into gullies and bowls and adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas.

The new snow remains in some cases prone to triggering. Small snow slides and avalanches are possible.

Below approximately 2400 m: In addition an appreciable danger of moist snow slides exists.

Weak layers in the old snowpack are difficult to recognise. These can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. Avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on little used shady slopes.
Snowpack
>
Friday: 5 to 10 cm of snow will fall until the early morning.

The snowpack will become moist at low and intermediate altitudes.

Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. In all regions less snow than usual is lying.
Tendency
Gradual decrease in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of the ceasing of precipitation. Slight increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
