Avalanche Activity

Blown snow

The main danger is from blowing snow. The snowpack stability is reduced, especially on slopes and in ravines, where the snow thickness is greater due to snow drifts.

Snowpack Structure

The last snowfall brought strong northerly winds, which blew the snow above the snow line down to the old snow base or to the ground in many places, and built up snowdrift accumulations on the leeward slopes. In some places, these have formed on top of a layer of parachuted graupel, which is a potentially dangerous Weak layer. Locally, the layers of Graupel are 5-10 cm thick, possibly more.

Weather Forecast

Mostly sunny and warmer, around 7 at 1500 m. Winds will decrease.

Tendency

The danger of avalanches will remain similar. Sunday will be sunny and even warmer. Winds will die down.
