Avalanche Activity

Low danger - wet slides and glide-snow avalanches

Mostly low danger prevails. Due to solar radiation and higher temperatures, slides and small loose-snow avalanches are possible in steep rocky terrain. IN addition, in zones which have not yet discharged, small glide-snow avalanches are possible on steep grassy slopes, in forest clearances and on hillsides. Caution below glide cracks.

Snowpack Structure

Fresh and small drifts were able to bond with the old snowpack. It is mostly compact and stable, wet at ground level. Due to mild temperatures and radiation it forfeits its firmness during the day. Up to intermediate altitudes the snow fell on bare ground.

Weather Forecast

Nocturnal hours: Dry, scattered clouds. Thursday daytime: Sunshine often hampered by clouds, but visibility generally adequate. Zero-degree level rising to 2700 m. At 2000 m: -3 to +5 degree. Light westerly winds.

Tendency

On Friday, widespread cloudbanks, mild, hardly any wind. On Saturday, a cold front will bring some snowfall above 1700 m. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
