Snowdrifts due to W/NE winds

Snowdrifts due to W/NE winds

Avalanche danger above 1800 m is MODERATE, below that altitude danger is LOW. Risks stem from small, isolatedly medium slab avalanches which can be triggered in a few places even be minimum additional loading. They occur mostly in steep ridgeline terrain, in steep gullies and bowls, behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain in all aspects. Frequency of danger zones increases with ascending altitude. Naturally triggered loose-snow and isolated glide-snow avalanches are possible in extremely steep terrain.

On Monday the peaks will be veiled in clouds and fog, visibility will be severely limited, but next-to-no snowfall is anticipated. The E/N winds will be light, no longer transport the snow. AT 2000 m: -13 degrees; at 3000 m: -17 degrees.

The fresh snow will settle noticeably due to solar radiation and higher temperatures on Tuesday. Mostly favourable conditions, despite local danger zones.
