Avalanche Activity

Moist slides and glide-snow avalanches possible during the daytime.

Low avalanche danger. Due to daytime warming and solar radiation, glide-snow avalanches and moist slides are possible.

Snowpack Structure

The mostly shallow snowpack or below average snow depths are moist up to intermediate altitudes. Ski tours and descents below the timberline, even below 2000 m, are unrewarding due to lack of snow. At low altitudes there is often no snow on the ground.

Weather Synopsis

Saturday night: On New Year’s Eve skies will be slightly cloudy, foehn-impacted and it will be mild.

Light to moderate winds, strong in foehn zones, from SW.

Tendency

Avalanche danger will remain low.
