Fresh snowdrifts triggerable in isolated places

Fresh snowdrifts triggerable in isolated places

Older snowdrift accumulations are triggerable only in isolated instances with large additional loading, triggerable as small-to-medium avalanches. Isolated avalanche prone locations are located on steep (>35°) N/E slopes where in places avalanches can be easily triggered. Pending good visibility the avalanche prone locations are easily recognized.Due to solar radiation, small loose-snow avalanches are possible in steep rocky terrain.

The old snowpack has settled and consolidated amid the higher temperatures and solar radiation. The older snowdrifts on wind-protected shady slopes atop a loose snowpack surface are prone to triggering in isolated cases. Snow depths are below average. Below 1800 m there is little snow on the ground.

On Thursday, good visibility apart from some fogbanks. Sunshine until early afternoon, no precipitation. Winds will remain light. At 2000 m: -2 to +3 degrees, at 3000 m, -4 degrees.

Little change expected, low avalanche danger will continue.
