Little snow, the snow is falling

Little snow, the snow is falling

The avalanche risk is low. Small, wet loose snow avalanches cannot be completely ruled out from areas in very steep terrain that have not yet been discharged (e.g. forest embankments), but many areas have already been discharged. In high areas on shady slopes, the triggering of small to medium-sized, dry slab avalanches by winter sports enthusiasts is still possible in isolated cases, in particular at the entrances to steep gullies and bowls.

With the clouds at night, the snowpack can hardly consolidate and is already soft and not capable of bearing loads in the morning. Depending on the aspect, the snowpack is damp or wet up to high altitudes. At shady high altitudes, the old snowpack with crusts and embedded angular crystals is unfavourably structured and weakened in places.

Overnight, clouds will move through again and again and it will be foggy in places. At the beginning of the meteorological spring, it will be unsettled on Sunday with an approaching, weak cold front. Where it is still sunny at first, the clouds will become denser from midday at the latest and then there will be unproductive precipitation, mostly rain. The snowfall level will be around 1800 metres above sea level. The high-altitude wind will be weak. Temperatures at 1500 metres above sea level around 4 degrees.

A mixture of sun and clouds at the start of the week. No significant change in the avalanche risk.
