Avalanche Activity
Avoid the latest snowdrift accumulations
Avalanche danger above the treeline is still CONSIDERABLE, below that altitude danger is LOW. Avalanche prone locations occur in steep gullies and bowls in all aspects and behind protruberances and, in particular, at forest rims. There, a snowdrift mass can be triggered even by the weight of one sole person, in ascent or descent. Slabs can grow to medium size.
Snowpack Structure
The latest fresh fallen snow (in bouts, 20-40 cm) and the snowdrifts due to storm winds were deposited atop a weakened layer and are still prone to triggering. Also older snowdrift accumulations and crusts (beneath which are soft, faceted layers) are in isolated cases triggerable by large additional loading.
Weather Synopsis
On Friday, mostly sunshine. Winds will be light to moderate. At 2000 m: -1 degree. On Saturday, clouds will soon disperse due to winds and let the sun come out. At intermediate altitudes, brisk NW winds, stormy at summit altitude. At 2000 m: -9 degrees.
Tendency
Avalanche danger will continue to recede.
