Predominantly low avalanche danger

Predominantly low avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is low. In extremely steep, especially shady terrain, small avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts. Apart from being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to fall also require caution. Particularly naturally triggered slides and small-to-medium sized glide-snow avalanches are possible.

The most recent fresh fallen snow lies deposited on top of an often moist, superficially melt-freeze encrusted old snowpack up to high altitudes. Particularly in ridgeline zones, mostly small freshly-generated snowdrift accumulations occur. On steep grass-covered slopes, glide cracks and small-sized glide-snowslides have repeatedly been observed. There is still inadequate information available from off-piste terrain to the Avalanche Warning Service.

Above the fog line it will be quite sunny with a few high-altitude cloudbanks. In general, little wind is expected, only somewhat brisk southwesterly winds in the foehn-exposed lanes. Temperature at 2000m: -6 to -1 degree; at 3000m: -7 degrees.

No significant change in the avalanche situation is anticipated.
