Avalanche Activity

Circumvent snowdrift accumulations

Avalanche danger is LOW. Slabs, mostly small-sized, can trigger particularly on very steep and extremely steep north, east and south-facing slopes by minimum additional loading. Isolated small glide-snow and loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Danger zones occur on very steep and extremely steep slopes, in entries into gullies and bowls and behind protruberances in the landscape.

Snowpack Structure

On top of a shallow and relatively compact snow cover, less than 30cm of snow and drifts (with embedded graupel) lie deposited. The border to the old snowpack can serve as a weak layer, more deeply embedded layers are unlikely to trigger.

Weather Forecast

On Saturday night, clouds will become dense. At midnight, light minor snowfall will set in, strong-velocity N/NW winds will arise (windspeeds of 50 km/hr). On Sunday, lots of cloud cover, intermittent light snowfall, only minor amounts expected. In the afternoon, precipiation will ease off, clouds disperse only gradually. At 2000m: -11 degrees.

Tendency

No significant change anticipated
