Avalanche Activity

Beware snow snowdrift accumulations

Avalanche danger is low. Fresh small snowdrift accumulations are trigger-prone at high altitudes, can often be triggered by 1 person, esp. in steep gullies and bowls. Danger of taking a fall outweighs that of snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

Due to southerly foehn winds, snowdrifts on shady slopes are often deposited atop soft layers where they are trigger-prone. The fresh snowfall from the weekend was moistened on sunny slopes up to 2400 m, on shady slopes it is still loose up to intermediate altitudes.

Weather Forecast

Nighttime skies will be variably cloudy. On Tuesday, good visibility, lots of sunshine, only high clouds, in afternoon diffuse light. Southerly winds will be brisk to strong, stormier in the foehn lanes (80 km/hr). At 2000 m: -5 to +6 degrees; at 3000 m: -4 to 0 degrees.

Tendency

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
