Avalanche Activity

Mostly low danger - isolated glide-snow avalanches

Mostly low avalanche danger prevails. Danger zones occur mostly in shady extremely steep terrain. Isolated small slab avalanches are possible by large additional loading. At high altitudes small snowdrift accumulations require attentiveness. Naturally triggered small slides are possible, on steep grassy slopes isolated small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches.

Snowpack Structure

A bit of fresh snow deposited atop a stable, below-average snowpack, well consolidated in the morning, softening only slightly later in the day. The snowpack fundament is thoroughly wet up to high altitudes, can glide over smooth ground in all aspects. Below 1500 m there is not much snow on the ground.

Weather Synopsis

Nocturnal hours: overcast skies, some rainfall and snow showers above 1000 m. Saturday: poor visibility due to low lying clouds, only occasional bright intervals. Minor snow showers, increasing in afternoon and evening. At 2000 m: -5 degrees. Light N/NE winds.

Tendency

Sunday will be instable with a bit of sunshine. It is expected to remain dry. Light winds, cold. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
