Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

Low risk of isolated wet snow avalanches

The avalanche risk is low. Occasional small wet snow avalanches are possible on the few sunny slopes that have not yet been discharged.

In addition, small snow slabs can still be triggered in exceptional cases in the entrance areas of steep gullies on shady slopes with large additional loads. The risk of being swept away and falling on icy surfaces generally outweighs the risk of burial.

Low and sunny mid-altitude areas are snowed out. Where present, the snowpack is moist to wet and well-settled right up to the summit areas. The snowpack radiates overnight and in some areas the surface becomes icy. In the higher, on shady slopes, there are still weak layers of large faceted crystals in the lower part of the snowpack, especially near the ground.

It will clear up increasingly during the night. Friday will bring sunny and stable mountain weather. High fog may persist in some valleys at first. The wind will be light and temperatures will rise to 0 to 3 degrees at 2000 metres.

No significant change in avalanche danger despite strong foehn on Saturday.
