Avalanche problems
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack shows massive signs of storm-strength wintery winds. The snowdrift accumulations are well consolidated, the surfaces encrusted or hardened. Above the treeline the terrain is largely windblown, there is more snow in the bowls. Inside the old snow are soft layers of expansively metamorphosed (faceted) crystals, but are unlikely to trigger except in isolated cases.
Weather Synopsis
Nights of clear skies. Sunshine during the daytime. On Wednesday, sunny and excellent visibility. The northerly winds will reach 40 km/hr. At 2000 m at midday: -4 degrees. On Thursday, sunny, outstanding visibility, little wind. At 2000 m: -3 degrees.
Tendency
No significant change is expected. The steep south-facing slopes will be moistened for a few hours.
Avalanche Activity
Very few danger zones
Avalanche danger is LOW. Only in few spots can large additional loading trigger a slab avalanche, most likely in shallow-snow transitions from little to much snow on shady, extremely steep slopes, where avalanches can grow to medium size nonetheless.
