Avalanche Activity

Not much snow on the ground, mostly low danger

Avalanche danger is mostly low. During the course of the day, small slides and wet-snow avalanches can trigger. On smooth, steep grass-covered slopes and in sparsely wooded zones, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible. Glide cracks are indicators of imminent danger.

Snowpack Structure

The shallow snowpack has settled well and is stable. Solar radiation and daytime warming moisten the snowpack and lead to a loss of firmness in the snowpack. On sunny slopes, the ground is becoming bare of snow to an increasing degree.

Weather Synopsis

Nocturnal hours: skies will be variably cloudy to heavily overcast, and mild. Sunday: clouds and fog with slight precipitation. Snowfall level will descend from 2000 m to 1500 m. In the afternoon, dry and clouds dispersing. At 2000 m: from +1 to -2 degrees. Strong W/NW winds.

Tendency

On Monday, lots of sunshine, little cloud. Rising temperatures. The NW winds will slacken off. At high altitudes, fresh snowdrifts require caution. Danger of wet-snow avalanches will recede as temperatures drop.
