Predominantly low avalanche danger

Predominantly low avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is low. On extremely steep, especially shady slopes, small avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts. Apart from being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to fall also require caution. Particularly on sunny slopes where the ground is smooth, naturally triggered small-sized, in isolated cases medium-sized glide-snow avalanches continue to be possible.

Tonight some fresh snowfall is anticipated. This will be deposited on top of a thoroughly wet, well settled and superficially melt-freeze encrusted snowpack up to high altitudes. Particularly in ridgeline terrain, small freshly generated and older, generally small-sized snowdrift accumulations occur. On steep grass-covered slopes, repeated glide cracks and small glide-snowslides have been observed. There is still only limited information available to the Avalanche Warning Services from off-piste terrain.

During the nighttime hours, light snowfall is expected, falling as freezing rain or rain below 600-800m. Until the late morning hours, limited snowfall is anticipated, in the afternoon hours clouds will disperse and some sunshine is anticipated. Temperatures at 2000m: -5 degrees; at 3000m: -1 degree. High-altitude winds: only light winds at all altitudes.

No significant change in the avalanche situation is anticipated.
