Avalanche Forecast

No recent avalanches have been reported. Recent wet snow and rain may have caused wet loose avalanches in steep terrain, but field observations are limited.

Up to 15-25 cm of moist snow may be found at uppermost elevations. This recent snow is settling rapidly and bonding well to the warm and moist snow beneath. The snowpack below 1500 m has been soaked with rain or diminishing rapidly. Total snow depths at ski hills and remote stations are 50 to 70 cm, with closer to 100 cm possible at treeline. Many areas are below the threshold depth for avalanches.

Sunday Night

Partly cloudy, no accumulation, alpine wind southwest 20 km/h, treeline temperature around 0 °C, freezing level at 1000 m.

Monday

Mix of sun and clouds, no precipitation, alpine wind south 20 to 30 km/h, treeline temperature around +2 °C, freezing level at 1200 m.

Tuesday

Cloudy with 5-10 cm (rain below 1400 m) beginning by midday, alpine wind southeast 30 to 50 km/h, treeline temperature around +3 °C, freezing level at 1400 m.

Wednesday

Cloudy with isolated flurries, trace accumulation, alpine wind southwest 20 km/h, treeline temperature around +4° C, freezing level at 1800 m.

• Investigate the bond of the recent snow
• Be carefull around freshly wind loaded features.
• Travelling on skis is hazardous due to a very shallow mountain snowpack.
