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.

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

In the Prealps, cloudy in the morning, minor snowfall is possible. Visibliity is limited only in isolated cases at high altitudes. Further to the south, more sunshine and good visibility. In afternoon, clouds will move in. Winds will be light to moderate from N/E directions. At 2000m: -2 to -4 degrees.

Tendency

Little change anticipated
