Beware small-sized snowdrift accumulations and gliding snow

Beware small-sized snowdrift accumulations and gliding snow

Avalanche danger is predominantly low, at higher altitudes moderate. Small-sized snowdrift accumulations can still be triggered above the timberline. Avalanche prone locations occur particularly on steep, shady slopes. Especially on steep grass-covered slopes, small-to-medium sized glide-snow avalanches are possible. Caution below glide cracks.

The fresh fallen snow and small-sized snowdrift accumulations from the last few days are settling increasingly and firming up. Particularly on steep grass-covered slopes, increasingly frequent glide cracks and heightened gliding snow have been observed.

A slight tendency of foehn winds on Sunday, sunny in the morning hours followed by widespread thin cloudbanks. In the afternoon it will turn gloomy, a few snowflakes are expected as evening nears. Temperature at 2000m: 0 degrees. High-altitude winds: moderate to brisk from south to southwest.

To begin with, no significant change in the avalanche situation is anticipated.
