Tendency

On Tuesday, it will snow and the risk of avalanches will increase.

Avalanche Activity

There are areas of blowing snow, with snow showers during the day.

Ridges and peaks are in many places blown down. Areas of blown snow are present, especially on south-west facing slopes. When snow drifts on steep slopes are loaded, they can trigger avalanches of dry snow. A strong to moderate south-westerly wind is blowing, transporting snow to the leeward side of the ridges. On the steepest slopes, a small avalanche of new snow may be triggered.

Snowpack Structure

During the last deterioration, almost one metre of new snow fell above about 2400 m. Especially in the vicinity of the ridges, drifts have formed. About 10 cm of new snow will fall on the existing snow base over the course of the day above an altitude of about 1500 m, with lower snowfall limits in leeward areas. The snow will be accompanied by strong south-westerly winds, which will build up new drifts. Weak layers may be hidden in the old snow cover.
