Avalanche danger in generally low, but isolated danger zones occur due to freshly generated snowdrift accumulations.

Little change expected on Wednesday.

Avalanche danger in generally low, but isolated danger zones occur due to freshly generated snowdrift accumulations.

Avalanche danger is low. Danger zones due to fresh snowdrifts occur above the treeline on N/S facing slopes behind protruberances in the landscape and in steep gullies and bowls. These canb be trigger a small slab avalanche in isolated cases even by minimum additional loading.

The small amount of fresh fallen snow and fresh snowdrifts often blanket surface hoar or else faceted old snow and can be prone to triggering. The snow base is often quite shallow and in isolated cases is weakened by faceted layers on shady high-alpine slopes.

On Monday, strong (at high altitudes often storm-strength) NW winds, gusts reaching 70 km/hr, but largely without precipitation. Intermittent sunshine between the high-altitude clouds, good visibility. Temperatures will rise. At 2000m at midday: +2 degrees.
