Avalanche Activity

Only few danger zones where the snowdrift accumulations are blanketed

Avalanche danger is low, Fresh drifts can trigger small sized slab avalanches by minimum addtional loading, e.g. the weight of one single skier. Danger zones occur near to and distant from ridgelines due to strong winds in steep terrain on NW-E-S facing slopes and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. The risks of being forced to take a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

Weak intermediate layers inside the snowdrift masses of recent days were able to consolidate on Saturday due to milder temperatures, they are trigger-sensitive only in a few places. The snowdrifts have been blanketed by a few cm of fresh fallen snow, they are difficult to recognize. The snowpack is much wind-impacted, the snow depths widely varied. All in all, there is little snow on the ground.

Tendency

Little change in avalanche danger levels is anticipated.
