Low danger but isolated avalanche prone locations due to fresh snowdrift patches
Low danger but isolated avalanche prone locations due to fresh snowdrift patches
Avalanche danger is generally low. Danger zones occur on east-facing slopes. Small slab avalanches cannot be ruled out.
The snowpack surface is largely melt-freeze encrusted, partially loose. Since Saturday, repeated snowdrift accumulations have been deposited. Bonding of fresh drifts to the base is generally good, in isolated cases prone to triggering.
Ash Wednesday will bring brilliant sunshine to start with. In the afternoon, high and intermediate altitude clouds will move in from the west. The peaks will mostly remain free. Winds will be from the northwest, blowing at moderate to brisk strength. At 2000 m at midday: -6 to -3 degrees. After a sunny start, Thursday will bring in clouds, some peaks will disappear in fog but it will remain free of precipitation.
Avalanche danger is expected to remain low.
