Snowpack Structure

The old snowpack is thoroughly wet up to high altitudes, but following a night of clear skies with good outgoing radiation, a generally well consolidated snowpack awaits in early morning. During the course of the day, the snowpack will soften from east to south to west and lose its firmness. At lower altitudes there is little snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

Dry, cool, star-studded skies at night. Saturday will be sunny with good visibility. In afternoon, harmless convective cloud build-up. At 2000m: +7 degrees. Moderate-strength northerly winds.

Tendency

Dropping temperatures on Sunday will cause danger of wet-snow avalanches to diminish. Small glide-snow avalanches still possible.

Avalanche Activity

Favorable conditions in the morning. Beware daytime warmth.

Avalanche danger in the morning is low. Winter sports enthusiasts can trigger avalanches in extremely steep terrain, usually small releases. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate caution. Due to daytime warming and solar radiation esp. on sun-bathed and rocky steep terrain, but also on shady slopes to an increasing degree, slides and mostly small-sized wet-snow avalanches are possible. Small, in isolated cases medium-sized glide-snow avalanches continue to be possible.
