Avalanche Activity

Evaluate freshly generated snowdrift accumulations on shady slopes with great caution.

Due to fresh snowfall and increasily stormy winds, far-reaching snowdrift accumulations are being generated, particularly on shady slopes above 1800m: easily triggered or triggering naturally. Avalanches are mostly small-sized.

Snowpack Structure

Up to 20cm of fresh snow was registered, locally more. The often storm-strength winds have intensively transported the snow. The fresh snowdrift accumulations blanket a weak old snowpack surface on shady slopes above 1800m. The old snowpack is faceted. The snowpack is highly irregular, even over small areas.

Weather Forecast

On Sunday, cloudbanks will repeatedly pass through. As of midday, the clouds will become denser and in late afternoon a few snow showers will pass through. Moderate westerly to southwesterly winds will be blowing. At 2000m: -5 degrees; at 1000m: 0 degrees.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
