Avalanche Activity

Isolated danger zones

Avalanche danger is low. Small, covered drifted masses in steep terrain could be triggered by the weight of one single skier in isolated cases, particularly near ridgelines on north- and east-facing slopes. In extremely steep terrain, small-sized loosely-packed snow avalanches are possible.

Snowpack Structure

Atop the fresh snow and snowdrifts of recent days, loose and cold, fresh snow has fallen. The drifted masses of recent days will fracture mostly in the fresh fallen snow just below it or else at the uppermost melt-freeze crust. The snow is diversely distributed: broad and narrow ridges are often completely windblown, also in other areas the fresh fallen snow blanketing the base is insufficient.

Weather Forecast

On Monday, heavy cloud cover and intermittent light snowfall will be the dominate weather factors. All in all, maximum 5 cm of fresh snow is anticipated. Winds will be blowing largely at light strength from the northeast, noticeable at most on the highest summits. At 2000m: temperatures around -7 degrees.

Danger expected to remain constant
