Snowdrift accumulations remain triggerable

Snowdrift accumulations remain triggerable

Avalanche danger is low. Local snowdrift accumulations can be triggered in places as small-sized slab avalanches. Danger zones occur especially near ridgelines in wind-loaded gullies adn bowls as well as in extremely steep terrain. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall requires caution.

On shady slopes, older small-sized snowdrift accumulations often lie deposited on top of an unfavorable old snowpack surface. The shallow snowpack is often expansively metamorphosed, at low and intermediate altitudes they are melt-freeze encrusted. Snow depths at all altitudes continue to be significantly below-average. Only limited information is currently available from backcountry to the Avalanche Warning Services.

To start with, sunshine everywhere is unimpeded. In the afternoon hours, dense cloudbanks will move in from the north. At 2000m: -16 to -13 degrees; at 3000m: -19 degrees. Light to moderate westerly-to-northwesterly winds at high altitudes.

Avalanche danger will decrease gradually
