Avalanche Activity

Isolated avalanche prone locations

Avalanche danger is LOW. Isolated danger zones exist, a slab avalanche triggered by large additional loading is most likely on steep shady slopes. In sunny, steep, rocky terrain small loose-snow avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

The snowpack was able to settle. On the surface are often breakable melt-freeze crusts. Exposed surfaces are generally windblown, gullies, bowls and leeward slopes are filled with drifts. On steep shady slopes, soft layers still exist inside the old snow.

Weather Synopsis

On Sunday, good visibility. Cloudbanks will pass through above summit level, creating diffuse light conditions. Winds will be light. At 2000 m: -2 degrees. On Monday, poor visibility, stormy winds, snow showers. At 2000 m: -10 degrees.

Tendency

On Monday avalanche danger levels will increase due to fresh snowdrifts.
