Favorable conditions. Caution: small-area snowdrift accumulations

Moderate-to-strong southerly winds are generating fresh snowdrift accumulations, they will lie deposited on shady steep slopes atop weak layers and are prone to triggering. Elsewhere, the snowpack is stabilizing. The near-surface layers are still generally loosely-packed, except where winds have had their effect. There are lots of wind crusts and, on south-facing slopes, a shallow surface crust. More deeply embedded layers inside the snowpack are unlikely to trigger, at most where the snow is shallow and on very steep shady slopes.

Sunny high-pressure front weather conditions with foehn impact, although altitude clouds will pass through during the course of the day. At 2000m: +3 degrees. Moderate SE winds at high altitude.

Evaluate fresh snowdrifts with great caution
