Low avalanche danger, moist slides and glide-snow avalanches

Low avalanche danger, moist slides and glide-snow avalanches

Avalanche danger is low. Moist slides and small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches can trigger on steep grass-covered slopes, in forest clearances and hillsides which have not yet discharged. Caution below glide cracks. In extremely steep terrain, isolated small avalanches can be triggered. Beware the risks of taking a fall. In high-altitude ridgeline terrain the fresh drifts are prone to triggering.

The old snowpack is generally compactd and stable despite rain impact, and wet down to the ground up to high altitudes. On high-altitude steep shady slopes, isolated small snowdrifts have persisted. Low altitude slopes are bare of snow.

Nocturnal hours: Heavily overcast, rainfall, light snowfall above 1500-1700 m. Monday daytime: Gray skies, wet, reduced visibility, in afternoon strong snow and graupel showers with thunderstorm. Above 1500-1700 m, 10-30 cm of fresh snow expected. At 2000 m: 1 degree. Moderate-to-brisk northwesterly winds.

On Tuesday an intermediate high will bring sunshine and milder temperatures. Danger of dry-snow avalanches will recede somewhat. Wet-snow and glide-snow avalanches are still possible.
