Avalanche Activity
Low avalanche danager / Shallow snowdrift patches behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain
LOW avalanche danger prevails. Isolated small danger zones occur on very steep N/E facing slopes, behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain, in gullies and bowls above 2000 m. They are easy to recognize as long as visibility is good. In icy and melt-freeze encrusted summit zones, the risks of being forced to take a fall require attentiveness.
Snowpack Structure
The few cm of fresh snow in the last few days have been transported by stormy NW winds. Small snowdrift accumulations were deposited on N/E facing slopes, in isolated cases atop a loose old snowpack surface and are prone to triggering. In general the bonding to the old snowpack surface is good.
Weather Synopsis
On Wednesday, a warm front from the northwest will bring compact cloudbanks, most of them harmless and higher than summit level. Intermittent sunny intervals are possible. Light (in exposed terrain, brisk) W/NW winds will be blowing. At 2000 m: rising to 0 degrees; at 3000 m: -6 degrees.
