Avalanche Activity

Isolated small snowslides possible

Avalanche danger is low. Fresh small snowdrift accumulations can in isolated cases be triggered where there is an old snowpack beneath them. Danger zones occur in very steep shady terrain in NW/E wind-loaded gullies and bowls. The risks of taking a fall outweigh those of being buried in snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

On Wednesday night, 5 cm of fresh snow is expected on the summits, amid some wind. The shallow snowdrift accumulations of recent days have bonded well with the old snowpack. Most of the fresh snow fell on bare ground.

Weather Synopsis

On Thursday residual clouds will persist and hamper visibility. Except for that, sunshine will soon prevail. Starting at midday from the northwest, cloud cover will move in, and precipitation will start: rainfall up to 1200 m, snowfall above that altitude. Winds will be brisk from SW directions. At 2000 m: -2 degrees; at 3000 m: -8 degrees.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger will continue.
