Avalanche Activity
Very few danger zones
Avalanche danger is LOW. Only in few spots can large additional loading trigger a slab avalanche, most likely in shallow-snow transitions from little to much snow on shady, extremely steep slopes, where avalanches can grow to medium size nonetheless.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack shows massive signs of storm-strength wintery winds. The snowdrift accumulations are well consolidated, the surfaces encrusted or hardened. Above the treeline the terrain is largely windblown, there is more snow in the gullies. Inside the old snow are soft layers of expansively metamorphosed (faceted) crystals, but are unlikely to trigger except in isolated cases.
Weather Synopsis
On Thursday, sunny, outstanding visibility, little wind. At 2000 m: -2 degrees. Winds at night will shift to southeasterly, clouds will move in. On Friday, gray skies up to 2000-2400m initially, with poor visibility. The cloud cover will gradually disperse from E/NE, make room for the sun. At 2000 m: -8 degrees.
Tendency
No significant change is expected.
