Avalanche Activity

Beware small fresh snowdrifts

Avalanche danger is moderate at higher altitudes, elsewhere danger is low. Fresh snowdrift accumulations require caution. They occur primarily in ridgeline terrain and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. If avalanches on high-altitude shady slopes fracture down to deeper weak layers, they can in isolated cases then grow to larger size. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall require caution.

Snowpack Structure

The most recent fresh snow from the weekend has already bonded well with the old snowpack surface. Fresh, mostly small-sized snowdrifts have been generated. The old snowpack is generally well-settled and compact.

Weather Forecast

Brilliant sunshine during daytime hours, with good visibility. Only the gusty easterly winds will disturb. Temperatures will rise slightly: at 2000m: -4 to -1 degree; at 3000m: to -7 degrees. Brisk to strong-velocity easterly winds winds at high altitudes, later slackening off.

Tendency

Avalanche danger will continue to diminish gradually.
