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.
Snowpack Structure
The snowpack shows huge effects of storm-strength wintery winds. The snowpack accumulations are well consolidated, often melt-freeze encrusted or hardened. Above the treelike the terrain is windblown, more snow lies in the bowls. Inside the old snowpack are soft layers of expansively metamorphosed (faceted) crystals which are unlikely to trigger except in isolated cases.
Weather Synopsis
On Thursday night, winds will shift to southeasterly, bringing high-foglike clouds. Friday will begin with gray skies up to 2000-2400m and poor visibility. The clouds will rapidly disperse from E/NE and make room for the sun. At 2000 m: -8 degrees On Saturday, sunny once again, with some fogbanks clinging to the mountain flanks. Moderate SE winds at 30 km/hr. At 2000 m: -5 degrees.
Tendency
No significant change is expected.
