Isolated avalanche triggerings by winter sports enthusiasts possible in extremely steep terrain. In high-altitude pass and ridgeline terrain, small snowdrifts require attentiveness, they are often still prone to triggering. The danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall outweighs that of being buried in snow masses. Danger of small (where snowfall has been heavy also medium-sized) glide-snow avalanches on steep grass-covered slopes or rocky plates remains difficult to asses. Caution urged below glide cracks.

The below-average snowpack is well consolidated b and large. In high altitude pass and ridgeline zones, small fresh, often trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations require attentiveness. Esp. on steep shady slopes these drifts have been deposited atop loose snow and are prone to triggering. High-altitude shady slopes are often still powdery, elsewhere the snowpack is often with breakable crusts, sometimes wind crusts are capable of bearing loads. On sunny slopes, a melt-freeze crust. During the daytime hours, this crust softens up again.

Nocturnal skies will be partly cloudy, but dry. On Sunday the mountains will often be shrouded in fog, but it will remain dry. Between Rätikon and Silvretta, pleasant conditions with intermittent sunshine. In the afternoon, cloudy also in southern regions. At 2000m: +1 degree. Light winds from varying directions at high altitudes.
