Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is still low. Isolated avalanche prone locations are found behind abrupt changes in the landscape. Ridgeline zones require particular caution. A slab avalanche triggering cannot be ruled out.

Snowpack Structure

At high altitude there are snowdrift accumulations deposited on top of a layer of surface hoar. At intermediate altitudes the snowpack was able to stabilize. On the snowpack surface is a layer of surface hoar (potential weak layer).

Weather Synopsis

In the morning, extended sunny spells, in the afternoon cloud cover will move in from the southwest and cover the whole mountain region. As a result of brisk to strong-velocity SW winds the low temperatures will relent somewhat. At 2000 m at midday, -4 to -1 degree expected.

Tendency

Slight increase in avalanche danger levels is expected.
