Favorable conditions. Caution: small-area snowdrift accumulations

Avalanche danger at high altitudes is moderate, danger below that altitude is low. In ridgeline terrain, in gullies and bowls, freshly generated snowdrift accumulations require caution. They are mostly small-sized, but poorly bonded with the old snowpack and thus, prone to triggering. In risky terrain for falls, evaluate the drifts with caution, small-sized - avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier. Glide-snow avalanches still possible.

The uppermost snowpack layers are generally still loose (except in wind-impacted terrain) and lie atop a well consolidated and often encrusted old snowpack . In high-altitude wind-impacted zones and ridgelines, small fresh snowdrift accumulations have been generated. Some older drifts are now blanketed and layers of graupel embedded. Not much snow on the ground at low altitudes.

In the latter part of the night, clouds will move in. On Wednesday, limited visibility extending to over 2000m especially during the morning hours, some light snowfall is possible. During the afternoon, clouds will tend to disperse, especially in the southern mountain massifs and in high-alpine regions. At 2000m: dropping to -6 degrees. Brisk to strong N/NE winds at high altitudes.

Avalanche danger levels will continue to be favorable
