Snowdrifts at high altitudes still prone to triggering in places

Snowdrifts at high altitudes still prone to triggering in places

There is no striking avalanche problem. Particularly in ridgeline zones and in very steep gullies and bowls, snowdrift accumulations require caution. They are mostly small but can be triggered even by one sole skier esp. on shady high-altitude slopes. Caution: the risks of falling and being swept along.

Only a few cm of fresh snowfall. Fresh and older snowdrift accumulations lie deposited esp. on steep shady slopes atop soft layers and are often prone to triggering. The uppermost layers are often still powdery (with the exception of wind-impacted zones), frequently encrusted on south-facing slopes. Also wind-crusts are evident. All in all, the snowpack is predominantly well consolidated.

Dry but often very cloudy skies. A cold front will bring lots of clouds and fog on Thursday. Light rainfall or snowfall and lots of wind. The amounts of fresh fallen snow will be minor. Snowfall level will descend to 1500-1000m. At 2000: +2 to -2 degrees. Brisk to strong SW winds, shifting to westerly as of midday.

No significant change anticipated in avalanche danger levels
