Highlights

Low avalanche danger, little new fallen snow

Weather Forecast

It will become increasingly soft during the night, with fog patches forming in the valleys. On Friday, sunshine will often predominate above the fog and high cloud fields will quickly move eastwards in the morning. Visibility is usually very good. The wind will be light to moderate from west to north at all altitudes. Temperatures at 2000 m at -5.

Tendency

No significant change in avalanche danger.

Snowpack Structure

Depending on the aspect and steepness, up to around 5 cm of new fallen snow and some thin wind slab cover the previously apery soils or the icy old snow surface. Edged persistent weak layers, if present, weaken the thin snow base, fundament.

Avalanche Activity

Low avalanche danger, little new fallen snow

The avalanche risk is low. There are isolated thin pillows of wind drifted snow behind the edges of the terrain. Take care in the entrance areas to steep gullies where a hard or icy old snow surface has now been slightly covered. In general, the risk of falling and injury outweighs the risk of burial.
