Avalanche Activity

Snowpack is settling well

Avalanche danger above 1400 m is MODERATE, below that altitude danger is LOW. The older snowdrifts are generally triggerable by large additional loading or in extremely steep terrain. Most critical are north and east-facing slopes and gullies. Most likely is a small-to-medium slab avalanche triggering in transitions from shallow to deeper snow. Naturally triggered small glide-snow avalanches are possible on very steep grassy slopes.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack was able to settle on Sunday. Bonding of fresh snow and drifts to the old snowpack is generally adequate.

Weather Synopsis

On Monday, generally adequate visibility, but some high altitude cloudbanks will pass through, hardly any sunshine. Little wind. At 2000 m: 12 degrees.

Tendency

Avalanche danger will further recede.
