Avalanche Activity
Small drifts above the treeline require attentiveness
Mostly low danger prevails. On steep slopes which have not yet discharged, small glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. With ascending altitude the small trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations require attentiveness. On very steep sunny slopes small loose-snow avalanches are possible due to solar radiation.
Snowpack Structure
The generally shallow snowpack is thoroughly wet up to intermediate altitudes. Temperatures over the last few days favour the snowpack diminishing. There is very little snow on the ground. The few cm of fresh snow which fell on Monday night were transported by strong westerly winds, formed small snowdrift accumulations above the treeline. Below that altitude there was mostly only rain.
Weather Synopsis
Tuesday night: clear skies to start with, then temperatures will drop, clouds will move in. Wednesday: a westerly air current will bring cloudbanks above summit level, visibility will become diffuse but remain adequate. At 2000 m: -6 to 0 degrees. Moderate W/SW winds.
Tendency
Avalanche danger will remain low.
