Very isolated small danger zones

Very isolated small danger zones

Avalanche danger is LOW. As temperatures rise during the day, small wet loose-snow avalanches and glide-snow avalanches are possible. Older small snowdrift accumulations at high altitudes can in some places be triggered even by the weight of one sole skier. Danger zones occur behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain, in gullies, bowls. Caution of falls in risky zones.

All in all, the snowpack is quite stable, small snowdrift accumulations have bonded well with the old surface. Only on shady slopes are they still prone to triggering in isolated cases. During the course of the day, the snowpack will become increasingly wet up to high altitudes and thereby forfeit its firmness.

On Monday, clouds passing through will keep the skies gray but visibility should remain adequate. As of midday, sunny weather will take over, no precipitation. Winds will be light. At 2000 m: 0 to 8 degrees.

Due to dropping temperatures and precipitation on Tuesday, new snowdrift accumulations will be generated. At low altitudes the rainfall will weaken the snowpack.
