Avalanche Activity

Caution: snowdrift accumulations

Due to fresh snow and strong-to-storm velocity southerly winds, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations have been generated esp. above 1900m on NW/N/NE facing slopes, in gullies and bowls, and behind protruberances in the terrain. Avalanches can grow to medium size, and can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts, mostly by large additional loading.

Snowpack Structure

Since Wednesday above 2000m, about 20-30 cm of fresh snow has been registered, locally more. Another 5-10cm cm of fresh snow is still expected. Winds are transporting the fresh snow. Fresh snow and drifts are being deposited on shady slopes atop an unfavorable old snowpack surface (soft layers). Weather conditions will gradually stabilie the near surface layers of the snowpack.

Weather Forecast

Persistent low-pressure front impact, thus, clouds will remain dense, summits will remain shrouded in fog. At 2000m: -2 degrees. Winds from S/SW will be moderate.
