Avalanche Activity
Areas prone to triggering due to weak layers in the persistent weak layer
The avalanche danger is assessed as low. Slab avalanches can still be triggered in a few places with little additional load, but usually remain small. The danger areas are located in particular in the north to north-east aspects behind ridgelines and terrain edges as well as in the entrance areas to steep gullies and bowls.
Snowpack Structure
In the higher elevations, there is fresh and older wind slab snow in the extended north and north-east exposures on an unstable snow cover, snowpack with weak layers of faceted crystals and floating snow. On the sunny slopes, the snow cover, snowpack is mostly settled and quite compact. The snow depths are still below average.
Weather Forecast
The sun continues to shine. At high altitudes it will be mild and rather windless. It will be a touch milder at altitude - -1 degrees at 2000 metres.
Tendency
Thursday will be mostly sunny with winds from the south. No change in the avalanche risk is expected.
