Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Caution in northern aspects: persistent weak layer
Isolated danger zones are located on extremely steep north-facing slopes. Older snowdrifts can trigger by large additional loading.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack was able to settle over the last few days. The old snowpack at high altitude is often riddled with faceted crystals and melt-freeze layers, thus is weakened. Otherwise the snowpack is hardened or icy.
Weather Synopsis
On the southern flank of the Alps, hardly any precipitation is anticipated, some sunshine due to northerly foehn wind can be expected. Cloudbanks will pass through. Caution: winds are intensifying by the hour. At high altitudes, gale winds reaching more than 130 km/hr. Temperature at 2000 m: -6 degrees.
Tendency
No significant change in avalanche danger levels is expected.
