Avalanche Activity
Wet-snow problem. Heed ridgeline snowdrifts.
Avalanche danger is MODERATE. Above 2000 m the freshly generated ridgeline snowdrift accumulations can be triggered by the weight of one sole skier. Slabs remain small-sized. Naturally triggered wet-snow (loose and slab) can trigger, mostly small-to-medium. Also glide-snow avalanches are about to increase.
Snowpack Structure
Westerly-to-northerly winds will generate snowdrifts. The fracture points generally are found in the fresh snow just below the slab. Weak layers in the old snow are rare. At intermediate altitudes and on some sunny slopes the fresh snow fell on bare ground, where increasingly frequent glide-snow avalanches can be expected.
Weather Synopsis
Generally good visibility on Monday. Northerly winds at 40 km/h. At 2000 m, -1 degree.
Tendency
As temperatures rise on Monday, the snowdrift problem will recede, the wet-snow problem will come to the foreground.
