Avalanche Activity
Caution in outlying terrain
Danger from snowdrifts is MODERATE above the treeline, below that altitude danger is LOW. Danger zones occur above the treeline in gullies in all aspects (particularly NW/E/S). Triggering a generally small slab avalanche is possible from the weight of one sole person.
Snowpack Structure
Due to storm on Friday, 15-20 cm of fresh snow was registered. The drifts lie deposited on older snowdrifts or atop older loose snow. Potential fracture poits on Saturday: mostly inside the latest masses of fresh snow and around the uppermost crust of the old snowpack.
Weather Synopsis
On Saturday most peaks will be free, dense clouds above that altitude. Pale sunshine, NW winds at 40-60 km/hr in exposed terrain. Slightly higher temperatures: at 2000 m -4 degrees. On Sunday, storm! In exposed terrain, gale-strength gusts are possible. On Saturday night and during the day on Sunday, light snowfall (up to 5 cm) which will get utterly windblown. Colder. At 2000 m: -8 degrees, and dropping further.
Tendency
Initially little change. Storm winds and fresh snowdrift accumulations will make the day on Sunday. Rising avalanche danger from Monday to Wednesday, due to abundant fresh snow.
