Very little snow, low avalanche danger.

Very little snow, low avalanche danger.

The avalanche danger is generally low. Avalanche prone locations can be found at high altitudes in extremely steep gullies in the northern sector, where small slab avalanches can occasionally be triggered by large additional loads. The danger of falling dominates over the danger of avalanches!

The snow surface is mostly hard and icy, with slopes up to over 2000 metres above sea level on sunny slopes. A few centimetres of new fallen snow were added on Wednesday. Below the melting snow crust, kinetic metamorphism is weakening the snow layering on the northern sides.

High air pressure will bring us sunny mountain weather on St. Stephen's Day. A moderate easterly wind will make it a little milder. At an altitude of 2000 metres, temperatures will rise from -1 degree to +1 degree during the day. Saturday will remain sunny and it will be even milder.

The avalanche danger will remain low in the coming days.
