Gliding snow
- All elevations
Generally low avalanche danger, but small-to-medium glide-snow releases possible
The warmth has stabilized the snowdrifts. On steep grass-covered slopes a wet gliding film has formed. Due to lower temperatures the gliding movement of the snowpack has slackened off.
On Wednesday morning skies will be predominantly overcast, with reduced visibility at summit level. Above 1000 m, minor snowfall is possible. As of midday, clouds will disperse, but strong winds will continue to blow (up to 60 km/hr in the morning, slackening off in the afternoon). At high altitude, temperatures will drop. At 2000 m: -3 degrees.
Avalanche danger will remain low during the next few days.
Generally low avalanche danger, but small-to-medium glide-snow releases possible
Due to higher temperatures and rainfall over the last few days, danger of snowdrifts has diminished. On steep grass-covered slopes, however, small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally.
