Highlights

Only isolated danger zones

Avalanche problems

  • Persistent weak layers

    • Above 2,000 m

Snowpack Structure

The fundament is weak (faceted crystals beneath crusts) but fracture propagation is unlikely (lacking slab). On shady slopes there is loose snow, on sunny slopes firn conditions are developing.

Weather Forecast

On Tuesday, cloudless skies and radiant sunshine will generate outstanding visibility and perfect conditions in the mountains. Only at the valley floors in the morning hours will high-fogbanks limit visibility. Light to moderate W/N winds will be blowing. At 2000m: between -2 and +1 degree.

Tendency

Little change anticipated

Avalanche Activity

Only isolated danger zones

Avalanche danger is low. Triggering a small slab (most likely above 2000m on shady very steep slopes) is possible in a few places. In isolated cases a small glide-snow avalanche is possible.
