Low avalanche danger

Low avalanche danger

Due to higher daytime temperatures and some rainfall in the afternoon, isolated small wet loose-snow avalanches are possible on extremely steep (>40°) slopes.

The snowpack is generally wet down to the ground. Isolated snowdrifts are prone to triggering on high-altitude shady slopes, otherwise the snowpack is stable. Often a melt-freeze crust has formed. Due to higher temperatures and intermittent radiation, the snowpack will soften during the daytime.

On Friday, initially dry with scattered clouds and some sunshine. Later, clouds will move in, visibility deteriorate. In late morning, rainfall and snowfall will spread, the snowfall level in the afternoon will lie at 2200-2500 m. Westerly winds will be light to moderate, but gradually intensify in the high alpine regions. At 2000 m: 2-4 degrees; at 3000 m: -2 degrees.
