Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger only isolated danger zones

Avalanche danger is generally low. Older snowdrifts at high altitudes can trigger small slab avalanches in isolated cases. Danger zones occur near ridges, at entries into steep gullies and bowls and behind discontinuities in the terrain.

Snowpack Structure

On what was previously bare ground or atop a moist compact old snowpack the fresh snow and drifts from the beginning of the week lie deposited, well bonded with the snowpack and already settled. Thin snowdrift patches will be generated by brisk winds. Weak layer: loose layers in the fresh drifts or blanked fresh snow from the beginning of the week.

Weather Forecast

Gray skies in the northern barrier clouds regions on Sunday, minor snowfall compared to the last few days. Further south, sunny intervals, brisk-to-strong N/NW winds, also snow showers as an exception. Winds will slacken off. At 2000 m: -8 degrees.

Tendency

It will remain cool, but mostly dry. Avalanche danger levels remain low.
