Avalanche Activity

Mostly low danger - moist slides and glide-snow avalanches

Mostly low avalanche danger prevails. Danger zones occur mostly in shady extremely steep terrain. Isolated small slab avalanches are possible by large additional loading. At high altitudes small snowdrift accumulations require attentiveness. Naturally triggered small slides are possible, on steep grassy slopes isolated small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches.

Snowpack Structure

Recent fresh snow deposited atop a stable, below-average snowpack, well consolidated in the morning, softening only slightly later in the day. The snowpack fundament is thoroughly wet up to high altitudes, can glide over smooth ground in all aspects. Below 1200-1400 m there is not much snow on the ground.

Weather Synopsis

Nocturnal hours: above 1000 m snow showers will slowly taper off. Sunday: residual clouds will disperse in the morning, sunshine will soon reign, visibility improve. Some residual or convective cloud might persist. Minor snow showers in the afternoon. At 2000 m: -4 degrees. Light to moderate NE winds.

Tendency

Easter Monday will be mostly sunny, high-altitude clouds will move in from the west during the afternoon. Danger of dry-snow avalanches will not change much, danger of wet-snow avalanches will increase.
