Snowpack Structure

The lastest round of fresh snowfall has been deposited as loose-snow following the lower temperatures atop a well consolidated, often encrusted old snowpack surface. In high altitude ridgeline terrain it was often transported, thus generating small-area drifted masses. Only isolated small-sized avalanches are possible. Not much snow on the ground at low altitudes.

Weather Forecast

Nocturnal skies will be cold and clear. Monday will be brilliantly sunny and very cold. At 2000m: -14 to -6 degrees. Icy-cold and strong-velocity NE winds.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels will continue to diminish

Avalanche Activity

Small-sized snowdrifts require caution

Avalanche danger at high altitudes is moderate, danger below that altitude is low. In ridgeline terrain, in gullies and bowls, freshly generated snowdrift accumulations require caution. They are mostly small-sized, but poorly bonded with the old snowpack and thus, prone to triggering, small - in isolated cases medium-sized - avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier. Danger of glide-snow avalanches still persists, but diminished due to lower temperatures.
