Avalanche Activity

There is little snow on the ground. Danger zones occur in gullies and bowls on shady slopes.

The older snowdrifts which have accumulated on shady slopes above 1800m over the last few days can be triggered mostly by large additional loading. Avalanche releases will be small-sized. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and being forced to take a fall also require consideration.

Snowpack Structure

Above 1800m the snowdrift accumulations cover a weak old snowpack on shady slopes. The old snowpack is often expansively metamorphosed, with faceted crystals.

Weather Forecast

Friday will have cloudless skies in the mountains with outstanding visibility. The NE winds will hardly be noticeable. Further rising temperatures at all altitudes. At 3000m at midday: -1 degree; at 2000m: +4 degrees.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
