Avalanche Activity
Generally low danger but snowdrift patches at summit level
Avalanche danger is low in general. Near ridges and behind discontinuities in the terrain, thin snowdrift patches have formed which can be triggered even by 1 person, but only small releases are generated.
Snowpack Structure
A bit of fresh snow from the weekend was transported to E/S facing slopes and on Tuesday as winds shift, were transported eastwards to W/N-facing slopes. The snowdrift accumulations are small. On E/S facing slopes they cover patches of loose but also decomposed snow, slowly becoming less threatening. On west and north-facing slopes the fresh drifts lie deposited atop surface hoar. Both of these are potential weak layers. The old snowpack beneath them is compact, without marked weak layers.
Weather Forecast
Thursday will bring lots of sunshine, outstanding visibility, light-to-moderate northerly winds. At 2000 m: -3 degrees. In evening, clouds will move in from the northeast, northerly winds intensify, and temperatures begin to drop.
Tendency
Friday will bring brisk northerly winds, lower temperatures, clouds in the north and sunshine in the south. Avalanche danger will remain low.
