Low avalanche danger and little snow

Low avalanche danger and little snow

The avalanche risk is low, there is little snow. Isolated avalanche prone locations are still conceivable on steep, shady slopes leading to wind slab-filled gullies in the summit areas. In general, the risk of injury from stones and the risk of falling on hard or icy surfaces outweighs the risk of burial.

The snowpack is at least superficially moistened up to around 1500 metres, on sunny slopes even up to the summit areas. The cloudy night prevents the snowpack from stabilising and crusting can form again on the surface. As a result, it is usually sticky and heavy again in the morning hours. Only on shady slopes can the snow surface still be partly soft and dry or wind-treated. Here, edged persistent weak layers - if present - weaken the thin snow base, fundament.

The night will be variable to cloudy with light winds. Sunday will also begin with lots of clouds, but these will slowly soften during the daytime changes and allow the sun to shine. At 2000 metres, the temperature will be around -2 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
