Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow

Danger of falling outweighs that of being buried in snow

Avalanche danger is low. Glide-snow avalanches are a threat up to summit level. Where there is sufficient snow on the ground, large-sized releases are possible, though most are small-to-medium. Avoid zones below glide cracks.

The snowpack layering is favorable by and large. Above 2000 m small snowdrift accumulations are unlikely to trigger. Due to warmth of the ground and moistness of the snowpack, increased glide-snow activity can be expected.

Star-studded skies on Tuesday night, dry air. On Wednesday, sunny weather, good for backcountry tours, though with some high-altitude cloudbanks passing through (good visibility). Only in the Osterhorn range will there be more cloud cover. Winds light to moderate, in afternoon in high-alpine regions brisk westerly winds in the Northern Alps. At 2000 m: 0 degrees; at 3000 m: -5 degrees.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
