Avalanche Activity

Avalanche situation demands great caution

Fresh snowfall and strong-to-stormy northerly winds have generated trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations esp. in gullies, bowls, behind protruberances in the terrain, which can easily be triggered in all aspects above 1800m or else trigger naturally. Danger zones are easily recognized for the practiced eye. Due to solar radiation, increasingly frequent loose-snow avalanches can be expected during the course of the day, mostly small-sized releases.

Snowpack Structure

Until now, 40-50cm of fresh snow has been registered above 1800m. By morning, another 10-20cm is expected. The freshly generated snowdrift accumulations lie atop unfavorable layers in all aspects above 1800m

Weather Forecast

Sunday will begin heavily clouded. Final snow showers will taper off in the morning. Ongoingly strong-velocity northerly winds will disperse the clouds from the west. At 2000m: 0 degrees. Source: GeoSpher

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels will recede
