Valgrisenche

Some new snow above approximately 1000 m.

Some new snow above approximately 1000 m.

The new snow of the weekend is lying on surface hoar in some places in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. The fresh snow and the small wind slabs that are forming in particular above approximately 2400 m represent the main danger. The wind slabs are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at high altitudes. These can especially at their margins be released, even by a single winter sport participant. These places are covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise. Several small and medium-sized dry avalanches are possible as a consequence of new snow and strong wind. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information. In all aspects as well as in all altitude zones less snow than usual is lying.

Up to 15 cm of snow fell on Saturday above approximately 800 m. In some localities 15 cm of snow, but less in some localities, will fall on Sunday above approximately 1800 m. The new snow of the weekend will be deposited on surface hoar in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. Below approximately 2500 m from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. In particular in gullies and bowls snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Individual weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on rocky shady slopes. In all regions in all altitude zones from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

The avalanche danger will increase during the day.
