Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, but individual avalanche prone locations due to wind slab!

The avalanche risk is generally low. Nevertheless, there are individual avalanche prone locations, in particular adjacent to ridgelines, behind terrain edges and in entrances to steep, shady gullies and bowls where medium-sized slab avalanches can be triggered by individuals.

Snowpack Structure

The snow base, fundament is largely stable. On the surface, there is older wind slab in places, which is usually well bonded to the snow base, fundament. Only in shady high altitudes does floating snow weaken the snow layering.

Weather Forecast

During the night to Friday it is mostly cloudless and during the day there is mostly good mountain weather. In the afternoon, the clouds will slowly increase and individual peaks will be covered in fog. The temperature at an altitude of 2000 metres will rise from -6 to -3 degrees during the day. Moderate winds from the north-east.

Tendency

Saturday will bring clouds with some new fallen snow. The avalanche danger will hardly change.
