Avalanche Activity
Low avalanche danger
LOW avalanche danger prevails. Isolated small danger zones occur on very steep N/E facing slopes, behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain, in gullies and bowls above 2000 m. They are easy to recognize as long as visibility is good. In icy and melt-freeze encrusted summit zones, the risks of being forced to take a fall require attentiveness.
Snowpack Structure
The few cm of fresh snow in the last few days have been transported by stormy NW winds. Small snowdrift accumulations were deposited on N/E facing slopes, in isolated cases atop a loose old snowpack surface and are no longer prone to triggering. As a result of the cold front on Thursday, very little fresh snowfall is anticipated.
Weather Synopsis
On Thursday residual clouds will persist and hamper visibility. Except for that, sunshine will soon prevail. Starting at midday from the northwest, cloud cover will move in, and precipitation will start: rainfall up to 1200 m, snowfall above that altitude. Winds will be brisk from SW directions. At 2000 m: -2 degrees; at 3000 m: -8 degrees.
Tendency
Low avalanche danger will continue.
