Avalanche Activity
Sunshine will create slides
Avalanche danger will rise from LOW to MODERATE in the course of the day. Moist and wet superficial loose-snow avalanches (small-to-medium sized) will become more frequent during the day due to solar radiation, depending on aspect and altitude. They can be triggered by one sole skier in extremely steep terrain. Isolated glide-snow avalanches (small-to-medium) can release on very steep grassy slopes.
Snowpack Structure
Atop a compact, moist old snowpack, mostly topped by a melt-freeze crust, 5-30 cm of snow have been deposited over the last few days. The fresh snow is generally well bonded with the old snowpack.
Weather Synopsis
On Monday, mostly dry weather, lots of sunshine, good visibility. Moderate westerly winds. Temperatures will rise during the day, at 2000 m from -10 to -4 degrees. On Tuesday, reduced visibility due to clouds and fog. Some rainfall (snow above 1700 m). At 2000 m: temperatures will rise to -1 degree. Brisk westerly winds in some places.
Tendency
The wet-snow problem will persist over the next few days due to mild temperatures.
