Avalanche Activity
Fresh snowdrifts. Moderate danger at high altitudes
Above the treeline danger is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. Danger zones: fresh snowdrift accumulations at high altitudes in E/S aspects, where one sole skier can trigger a slab avalanche. Poor visibility make evaluation more difficult on-site.
Snowpack Structure
Beneath the fresh snow from last weekend, weak layers have formed which, however, cannot easily be triggered. Atop them on Friday night, fresh, instable snowdrifts were deposited. At low altitudes the snowpack is moist down to the ground.
Weather Synopsis
Palm Sunday will begin with sunshine in the rimline ranges, in the afternoon cloud cover will increase but tendency to showers will be low. Winds stormy from the northwest in the morning, then will slacken off. At 2000 m: -7 degrees.
