Avalanche Activity
Caution urged towards drifts in steep bowls
Little change from yesterday. Avalanche danger above the treeline is MODERATE. Isolated danger zones due to freshly generated snowdrift accumulations are found on wind-loaded slopes (gullies, steep bowls, forest clearances, etc.) and on W/S/E facing slopes distant from ridgelines. Triggering requries usually large additional loading.
Snowpack Structure
Due to storm winds the terrain is starkly windblown. Hardened crusts lie immediately adjacent to easily recognized snowdrift accumulations in the wind-protected zones (forest rims, bowls). The drifts often lie deposited atop weak layers and melt-freeze crusts.

On Monday, sunshine, nearly cloudless skies, little wind, slightly higher temperatures. At 2000 m: -4 degrees, at 3000 m, -8 degrees. On Tuesday, cloudless skies again, outstanding visibility. The NW winds will intensify slightly (30 km/hr). Mildest day of the week. Temperature at 2000 m: -1 degree, at 3000 m, -5 degrees.

Little change. Danger zones will decrese slightly due to the higher temperatures.
