LOW avalanche danger prevails. Isolated avalanche prone locations occur especially on shady slopes in transitions from shallow to deep snow (persistent weak layer), and on east-facing slopes and behind protruberances. . In isolated cases, the weak layers in the old snow can trigger a medium-to-large sized avalanche. On sunny slopes, steep grass-covered terrain can expect naturally triggered glide-snow avalanches. Glide cracks (‘fishbones’) should be seen as red flags.

On sunny slopes the snowpack is covered by a melt-freeze crust. On shady slopes the weak layers deeper down inside the snowpack are a threat. On sunny slopes, glide cracks have formed on steep grass-covered slopes.In addition, local small snowdrift masses occur atop a very soft surface or a wind-crust. On sunny steep grass-covered slopes glide cracks have formed.

Monday will be sunny, outstanding visibility. Winds will be moderate to brisk from west to sough. At 2000 m: 0 degrees at midday. Towards evening, clouds will move in from the southwest.
