Avalanche Activity

Avalanche danger is low, isolated danger zones due to small snowdrift patches

Avalanche danger is low. Fresh snowdrifts can be triggered in isolated cases as a slab avalanche by large additional loading. In extremely steep terrain, small-sized loose snow avalanches can release due to solar radiation.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover is settling to an increasing degree. It is not yet sufficiently thick for activities in outlying terrain.

Weather Forecast

Nighttime skies will mostly be star-studded and dry. In northern regions, low-lying high-foglike clouds will persist. Winds at all altitudes will be light to moderate. On Thursday during the course of the day, high-altitude cloudbanks from the northeast can make skies gray, make visibility diffuse. Winds at all altitudes will be mostly light (peaks at high-altitudes at 30 km/hr) from the NE. Milder: at 2000m, rising from -4 to +1 degree; at 3000m, from -9 to -5 degrees. Nocturnal skies will be cloudless, with light winds.

Tendency

Danger expected to remain constant
