Avalanche Activity
Very few danger zones
Avalanche danger is LOW. Only in few spots can large additional loading trigger a slab avalanche, most likely in shallow-snow transitions from little to much snow on shady, extremely steep slopes, where avalanches can grow to medium size nonetheless.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack shows huge effects of storm-strength wintery winds. The snowpack accumulations are well consolidated, often melt-freeze encrusted or hardened. Above the treelike the terrain is windblown, more snow lies in the bowls. Inside the old snowpack are soft layers of expansively metamorphosed (faceted) crystals which are unlikely to trigger except in isolated cases.
Weather Synopsis
Sunday will be brilliantly sunny, outstanding visibility, low air moisture, less wind (30 km/hr from the south at high altitudes). At 2000 m: -2 degrees. Monday will bring some cloudbanks, otherwise good backcountry touring weather. Light winds. At 2000 m: -1 degree.
Tendency
No significant change is expected.
