Avalanche Activity

Avalanche danger in generally low, but isolated danger zones occur due to freshly generated snowdrift accumulations.

Snowpack Structure

The small amount of fresh fallen snow and fresh snowdrifts often blanket surface hoar or else faceted old snow and can be prone to triggering. The snow base is often quite shallow and in isolated cases is weakened by faceted layers on shady high-alpine slopes.

Weather Forecast

On Saturday night, up to 10 cm of fresh snowfall is anticipated. Strong - and in exposed terrain even storm-strength winds - from west to northwest will transport the fresh snow in irregular fashion. On Sunday, frequent snowfall is expected until after midday, visibility will be poor, improving only in the afternoon. Another 5-10 cm of fresh snow is expected. At 2000m: -8 degrees. Northwesterly winds will reach peaks of 50-80 km/hr.

Tendency

On Monday, no significant change is expected.
