Avalanche Activity

Heed risk of taking a fall in steep terrain

Avalanche danger is low. The main problem are snowdrifts. Sporadically, small-scale snowdrift accumulations are still triggerable on ridgline slopes in N/E aspects as well as in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. They tend to remain small-sized. The risks of taking a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

Most of the snow that fell in the last few days was transported; snow depths vary widely; ridges and crests are windblown. At higher altitudes, isolated weak layers persist in the snowdrifts which are prone to triggering. As a result of the mild temperatures on Sunday these have, however, settled and bonded mostly well. Following a mostly clear night, a melt-freeze crusts forms on the moist snowpack surface at lower altitudes which softens again during the day due to sunshine and mild temperatures. There is still only very little snow.

Tendency

By mid-week the avalanche danger will possibly rise again due to the anticipated precipitations.
