Avalanche danger is at the upper point of Danger Level 2 (Moderate). Loose-snow avalanches possible during extended bright intervals.

Avalanche danger is at the upper point of Danger Level 2 (Moderate). Loose-snow avalanches possible during extended bright intervals.

Avalanches are triggerable by persons in the weak old snow, esp. on W/N/E facng slopes above 1900m, releases generally medium-sized. Danger zones are diffidult to recognize. Isolated whumpf noises are a warning. On extremely steep S/SW/W facing slopes, increasingly frequent mostly small loose-snow avalanches are possible, esp. in afternoon in case of extended bright intervals. Pay attention to t runout zones. Isolated glide-snow avalanches are possible.

Since Wednesday above 1400m: 30-50 cm of fresh snow, by afternoon another 5-10 cm is expected above 1600m, locally more. Fresh snow and drifts lie deposited on W/N/E facing slopes above 1900m atop an unfavorable old snowpack. South-facing slopes an terrain below 1900m: atop a crust.

On Saturday, gray skies, summits will be shrouded in fog, visibility poor. Light easterly winds. At 2000m: -6 degrees; at 1000m: +2 degrees. Source: GeoSphere

Naturally triggered avalanche activity will increase significantly due t higher temperatures and solar radiation
