Avalanche Activity
Low avalanche danger, beware small snowdrift patches at high altitudes
Avalanche danger is generally low. Main danger: snowdrifts. On high altitude east-facing slopes, isolated danger zones caused by snowdrifts.
Snowpack Structure
Due to small amounts of fresh fallen snow and storm-strength NW winds, isolated snowdrift accumulations have been generated on east-facing slopes which at high altitudes are often poorly bonded with the surface. At lower altitudes, a melt-freeze crust is forming. The fundament is still stable.
Weather Forecast
On the southern flank of the Alps, cloudless skies right from the start. The NW winds will be brisk to stormy, on the eastern rim of the Alps gusts over 100 km/hr can be expected. At 2000 m: -7 degrees, the wind making it feel even colder.
Tendency
On Sunday, sunny and mild, hardly any wind, diminishing avalanche danger.
