Avalanche danger at high point of Danger Level 2 (Moderate)

Avalanche danger at high point of Danger Level 2 (Moderate)

As snowfall intensifies, likelihood of slab avalanches above 1900m rising significantl, esp. on ridgeline W/N/E facing slopes where snow is heavy. triggerable by persons. Where snowfall is heaviest natural triggerings possible. Mediium-sized releases are possible. Danger zones difficult to recognize. Isolated whump noises are warning. On extremely steep S/SW/W facing slopes, increasingly frequent mostly small loose-snow avalanches are possible, esp. in afternoon in case of extended bright intervals. Pay attention to the runout zones.

Since Wednesday above 1400m: 20-35 cm of fresh snow, tonight another 5-15 cm is expected above 1600m. Fresh snow and drifts lie deposited on W/N/E facing slopes above 1900m atop an unfavorable old snowpack. South-facing slopes and terrain below 1900m: atop a crust.

On Friday, cloudy weather, snow showers will pass through. The peaks will mostly be shrouded in fog and clouds. Sunny intervals will be the exception, more likely in afternoon. Winds light from south to southwest. At 2000m: -6 degrees. Source: GeoSphere

Due to sustained snowfall, likelihood of triggering continues to increase
