Isolated avalanche prone locations on steep shady slopes

Isolated avalanche prone locations on steep shady slopes

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated danger zones are located on extremely steep shady slopes. Small-sized avalanches can, in isolated cases, be triggered even by minimum additional loading. Danger zones occur mostly in transitions from shallow to deep snow, for example, at the entry point into gullies and bowls. The risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require caution.

The snowpack surface is melt-freeze encrusted in early morning, then softens up during the day, particularly on sunny slopes. At low altitudes there is little snow on the ground. South-facing slopes are becoming increasingly bare of snow.

Brilliantly sunny weather in the mountains from early morning until late evening. In the Silvretta and Rätikon, a few clouds in the morning which will disperse later on. Temperature at 2000m: -1 degree; at 3000m: -7 degrees. Light winds at high altitudes, mostly from S/SE directions.

No significant change anticipated
