Avalanche Activity
Favorable backcountry conditions persist
Isolated danger zones on north-facing slopes, where the persistent weak layer (more deeply embedded weak layer) prevails. On shady, extremely steep slopes, triggering a slab cannot be ruled out. Glide-snow avalanche activity is increasing.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack is stable. Due to minor rainfall the snowpack surface is moist down to intermediate altitudes. The base is still stable. On extremely steep shady slopes above 2000 m, weak layers of faceted crystals are making the snowpack layering vulnerable.
Weather Synopsis
From the east some clouds will move in during early morning, a bit of rainfall is possible. Snowfall level will lie at 1000 m. The amounts of fresh snow are not relevant to avalanches. In the morning more sunshine is anticipated, especially in the western regions. At 2000 m: -6 degree, SE winds at 50 km/hr.
Tendency
No significant change in avalanche danger is anticipated.
