Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Winds, but only very little fresh fallen snow
Avalanche danger is LOW. Only very few danger zones exist: in extremely steep terrain and shady high altitude slopes where fresh shallow snowdrifts have been generated. Isolated small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are possible, triggering naturally. Zones below glide cracks and extremely steep grassy slopes should be avoided.
Snowpack Structure
The small amount of fresh fallen snow will be deposited atop a springlike surface, often melt-freeze encrusted. Bonding to the snowpack will be adequate. The layers of the old snowpack are well bonded to each other, even if there are icy films between them. The weakest layer lies at ground level. At valley floor and on sunny slopes there is little snow up to intermediate altitudes.
Weather Synopsis
Starting in early morning, snow showers will pass through, bringing only a small amount of fresh snow (5 cm by evening). The peaks will often be shrouded in clouds, some sunny intervals are possible. Winds from W/NW will be blowing at 40-60 km/hr. At 2000 m: -5 degrees.
Tendency
No significant change is expected.
