Snowpack Structure

Atop a compact old snowpack there is 10-40 cm of loose snow deposited. Older snowdrifts often prevail (from the weekend) which are sometimes blanketed over. Bonding of most layers is good, but not always.

Weather Synopsis

On Wednesday, good visibility. Sunny in the morning, more clouds above summit altitudes in the afternoon. Little wind. At 2000 m: -5 degrees. On Thursday, brilliant sunshine, little wind, milder. At 2000 m: +2 degrees

Tendency

Avalanche danger will recede.

Avalanche Activity

Small snowdrift masses

Avalanche danger above 2000 m is MODERATE, below that altitude danger is LOW. A small-to-medium slab can be triggered even by minimum additional loading, mostly near to ridgelines. Most avalanche prone locations are in N/E aspects, with ascending altitude also in southern aspects.
