Avalanche Activity

Caution urged in wind-exposed steep terrain

Avalanche danger is moderate above the timberline, often at that level at the timberline. Fresh snow and drifts can easily be triggered as small-to-medium sized avalanches by one single winter sports enthusiast. Danger zones occur especially behind drops in the landscape and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls.

Snowpack Structure

By Tuesday evening, approximately 20cm of fresh snow is expected. Stormy westerly to northwesterly winds will transport the snow, generate fresh snowdrift accumulations, particularly above the timberline.

Weather Forecast

From dense cloud cover, heavy snowfall, poor visibility, brisk winds, wintery cold temperatures. Temperature at 2000m: -8 degrees; at 3000m: -15 degrees. Strong to storm-strength westerly-to-northwesterly winds at high altitudes.

Tendency

Initially, no significant change anticipated
