The latest bout of snowfall contained unusual amounts of graupel. Solar radiation on Tuesday will moisten the snowpack inordinately on Tuesday, particularly west of the Chiemgau Alps. As temperatures rise, the fresh snow will settle. Inside the masses of fresh snow there are next to no triggerable layers evident. Bonding to the stable old snowpack is adequate. As a result of rising daytime temperatures and solar radiation, avalanche danger will gradually increase. Please note: public ski areas are currently not supervised and not secured from avalanche danger. Avalanche danger in the Chiemgau and Berchtesgaden Alps is considerable above the treeline. In the remaining regions of the Bavarian Alps danger is moderate. Main problem: snowdrifts. In eastern regions in particular, there are many avalanche prone locations in steep ridgeline terrain in NE-S-W aspects and in freshly wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Small-to-medium slab avalanches can be triggered even by the weight of one single skier. Frequency and size of danger zones increase with ascending altitude. On steep slopes with smooth ground surfaces, increasingly frequent small-to-mediuzm glide-snow avalanches can be expected. Glide cracks are indicators of this danger. Wherever the sun shines, small-to-medium loosely-packed snow avalanches trigger naturally, in isolated cases at high altitudes also large-sized releases.
