Avalanche Activity

Favorable conditions. Caution: small-area snowdrift accumulations

Avalanche danger is low. In ridgeline terrain, in gullies and bowls, freshly generated snowdrift accumulations require caution. They are mostly small-sized, but poorly bonded with the old snowpack and thus, prone to triggering. In risky terrain for falls, evaluate the drifts with caution, small-sized - avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier. Glide-snow avalanches still possible.

Snowpack Structure

The uppermost snowpack layers are generally still loose (except in wind-impacted terrain) and lie atop a well consolidated and often encrusted old snowpack . In high-altitude wind-impacted zones and ridgelines, small fresh snowdrift accumulations have been generated. Some older drifts are now blanketed and layers of graupel embedded. Not much snow on the ground at low altitudes.

Weather Forecast

A high-pressure front is bringing stable weather conditions with outstanding visibility. Relative mild for this juncture of the season, although cold air prevails on the valley floors. At 2000m: +2 degrees. Moderate to brisk easterly winds at high altitudes.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels will continue to be favorable
