Avalanche Activity
Isolated avalanche prone locations on steep shady slopes
Avalanche danger is low. Isolated danger zones are located on extremely steep shady slopes. Small-sized avalanches can, in isolated cases, be triggered even by minimum additional loading. Danger zones occur mostly in transitions from shallow to deep snow, for example, at the entry point into gullies and bowls. The risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require caution.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack surface is melt-freeze encrusted in early morning, then softens up during the day, particularly on sunny slopes. At low altitudes there is little snow on the ground. South-facing slopes are becoming increasingly bare of snow.
Weather Forecast
Sunny weather in the mountains, often cloudless skies. Temperature at 2000m: 0 degrees; at 3000m: -6 degrees. Light winds from varying directions at high altitudes, later in the day shifting to southwesterly.
Tendency
No significant change anticipated
