Avalanche Activity

Beware small fresh snowdrifts

Avalanche danger is moderate at higher altitudes, elsewhere danger is low. Fresh snowdrift accumulations require caution. They occur primarily in ridgeline terrain and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. In addition. isolated avalanches can be triggered by large additional loading. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall require caution.

Snowpack Structure

The fresh snow from the weekend has already bonded well with the old snowpack surface. Fresh, mostly small-sized snowdrifts have been generated. The old snowpack is generally well-settled and compact.

Weather Forecast

Pure sunshine and cloudless skies in the mountains. Winds will remain unpleasantly brisk, especially in exposed ridgeline terrain, thus sharpening the temperatures. Temperature at 2000m: -5 to +1 degree; at 3000m: to -8 degrees. Moderate to brisk easterly winds at high altitudes.

Tendency

Avalanche danger is not expected to change significantly.
