Avalanche Activity

Shallow snowdrift accumulations can be trigger sensitive over small areas

Avalanche danger is low. In few places snowdrift accumulations can trigger small slab avalanches by minimum additional loading. The risks of being forced to take a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow masses. Small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are still possible. Circumvent zones below glide cracks.

Snowpack Structure

Freshly generated snowdrift accumulations are deposited widespread atop a moistened old snowpack surface and are bonding well for the most part. The entire snowpack can glide away over steep rocky plates or grass-covered slopes.

Weather Forecast

Nighttime skies will be variably cloudy and dry, with extended clear phases. On Monday, mild foehn-induced weather will prevail, the southerly winds will be strong, reaching windspeeds of 60-80 km/hr. In the northern mountain massifs, more sunshine is expected. At 2000m: 7 degrees; at 3000m: -2 degrees. In the afternoon, temperatures will drop somewhat.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels to increase on Tuesday due to fresh snowfall
