Danger of taking a fall outweighs that of being buried in snow

Danger of taking a fall outweighs that of being buried in snow

Avalanche danger is low. Particularly on very steep shady slopes above the timberline, slab avalanches can be triggered in isolated cases by minimum additional loading. Releases are mostly small-sized. Apart from th danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall need to be taken into consideration.

Mostly shallow snowdrift masses lie deposited on shady slopes, often atop a weak, heavily faceted and expansively metamorphosed layer of old snow.

During the nighttime hours, southerly winds will slacken off. On Tuesday, initially widespread cloud cover, often hampering the sun, a bit of minor precipitation is possible to start with. In the afternoon, clouds can disperse, winds will be light. At 2000m: -2 degrees: at 3000m: -9 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger levels anticipated
