Avalanche Activity

Glide-snow/wet-snow avalanches possible only in few spots

Avalanche danger is low. Naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches are possible in isolated cases in terrain which has not yet discharged in all aspects, medium releases cannot be ruled out.

Snowpack Structure

At night, a melt-freeze crust forms, swiftly melting in the daytime. At least on north facing slopes, there is potential for medium-sized glide-snow avalanches. On sunny slopes there is too little snow on the ground.

Weather Forecast

Scattered thin cirrus clouds during the night, light to moderate NW winds. On Saturday, sunshine, thin cirrus clouds, light-to-moderate W/NW winds. At 2000 m: 7-12 degrees; at 3000 m: 3 degrees. Also on Sunday, following a night of scattered clouds, initially sunny, heavier clouds moving in later with intensifying winds.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly. Daytime cycle of avalanche activity. Beware gliding snow.
