Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp.8: surface hoar blanketed with snow
Over a wide area 50 cm of snow, and up to 70 cm in some localities, will fall until the early morning above approximately 1800 m. The new snow can be released easily or naturally in all aspects above the tree line. Snow profiles and stability tests have confirmed the distinct danger. The covering of new snow is soft. Distinct weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack are difficult to recognise. The new snow will be deposited on surface hoar in particular on steep sunny slopes above approximately 1700 m. Above the tree line: Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted and weak. Over a wide area new snow is lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. Avalanches can be released in deeper layers very easily.
