Avalanche Activity
AVOID fresh snowdrift masses generated by northerly winds!
The snowdrift problem above the treeline is predominantly MODERATE. Danger zones result from the fresh snowdrift accumulations generated by northerly winds on the weekend above the treeline. Caution urged in gullies, steep bowls and steep NE/E/SW facing slopes. Triggering an avalanche is possible large additional loading, avalanches can then grow to max. medium size.
Snowpack Structure
Strong N/NW winds on the weekend have generated snowdrift accumulations near to and distant from ridgelines. They are not widespread or thick, but are deposited atop a base of cold powder, making them easy to trigger. A soft layer beneath the last melt-freeze crust is currently not triggerable. More deeply embedded weak layers are not a problem currently, merely a soft layer beneath the last melt-freeze crust, currently not a risk.
Weather Synopsis
On Monday, clouds and sunshine will alternate, more sun is expected in the south. ICY-cold and strong north wind (40-60 km/hr) in exposed terrain. At 2000 m: -10 degrees.. Tuesday: sunny from the start, the northerly winds will ease, but persist (30-40 km/hr). Higher temperatures.
Tendency
On Tuesday, little change. In the coming days avalanche danger will decrease due to sun and higher temperatures.
