Avalanche Activity

Few danger zones in extremely steep terrain

Avalanche danger is LOW, only very few small danger zones exist. On the one hand, due to the weak old snowpack fundament from which naturally triggered avalanches are possible in extremely steep terrain, on the other through fresh snowdrift accumulations in extremely steep ridgeline terrain and in gullies where avalanches can be triggered by large additional loading.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack is thoroughly moist and 0° isotherm up to high altitudes and weakened at ground level by expansively metamorphosed snow. The small amount of fresh snow from last week has settled and become encrusted. In exposed terrain there are fresh drifts deposited by W/N winds.

Weather Synopsis

On Monday, visibility will improve, intermittent sunshine during the daytime. Strong to storm-strengh northerly winds up to 70 km/hr. At 2000 m: -9 degrees.

Tendency

No significant change expected
