Kernpunkte

Avoid avalanche terrain on Sunday

Travel cautiously on Monday and Tuesday, storm slabs will likely remain rider triggerable.

Lawinenprobleme

  • Cornices

    • Hochgebirge
    • Waldgrenze
    • Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Possible
    Größe
    1–2

    Weak cornices may form on Sunday. Falling cornices are a hazard on their own but they can also trigger slabs on the slope below.

  • Storm Slabs

    • Hochgebirge
    • Waldgrenze
    • Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
    Wahrscheinlichkeit
    Very Likely
    Größe
    1–2.5

    The largest and most reactive slabs will be found on wind loaded slopes on Sunday.

    These slabs will likely remain rider triggerable into early next week due to the underlying crust.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident the likelihood of avalanches will increase with the forecast weather.
  • We are uncertain about how quickly the snowpack will recover and gain strength.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported at the time of publishing. If you head out in the hills please consider sharing your observations via the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

By late afternoon on Sunday up to 30 cm of new snow will likely have fallen in the hills. Overnight snow will be distributed by southerly wind followed by northwest wind during the day on Sunday. Deep deposits of wind drifted snow could be found on all aspects as a result.

Storm snow will overlie a crust/facet combo  that it likely won’t bond well too.

In sheltered terrain the snowpack depth in the hills is around 140 cm .

Weather Summary

Cloudy. 10 to 15 cm of snow. 50 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid avalanche terrain during periods of heavy snowfall.
  • Keep your guard up as storm slabs may remain sensitive to human triggering.
  • Avoid terrain traps such as gullies and cliffs where the consequence of any avalanche could be serious.
  • Carefully manage your exposure to overhead hazards.
