Avalanche Activity
Shallow snowdrift accumulations above timberline
Avalanche danger is LOW. The few danger spots focus on small, mostly thin snowdrift patches above the treeline (N/E/S). Here and there, a small or medium-sized glide-snow avalanche can trigger naturally in extremely steep terrain.
Snowpack Structure
The snowfall from the last few days has settled well. Strikingly weak layers are not evident. The fresh snow (5-15 cm) is being transported by NW winds above the treeline. Freshly generated snowdrifts can be deposited on loosely-packed fresh snow in some places. The snowpack is gliding slightly over warm and smooth ground.
Weather Synopsis
On Friday, snowfall with interims, heavy cloud cover and residual fog will also hinder visibility. As of midday the cloud cover will disperse somewhat, in afternoon it will turn sunny. In the morning, brisk winds (30 km/hr), slackening off in the afternoon. At 1500 m: -7 degrees; at 2000 m: -11 degrees. On Saturday, overcast skies, most summits will be in the clear. Possible light snowfall at midday. Moderate southerly winds.
Tendency
Little change. Mostly LOW avalanche danger.
