Low-volume wind slab and rare avalanche prone locations in the persistent weak layer

Low-volume wind slab and rare avalanche prone locations in the persistent weak layer

The avalanche danger is low. Small avalanches in particular can still be triggered by individuals in a few places in the shady slope high alpine regions above 2600 metres. On the one hand in the fresh wind slab snow of the last few days, on the other hand very occasionally in weak layers in the persistent weak layer. In addition to the risk of burial, the risk of falling and injury should be taken into account.

On the sunny slopes, the snow cover, snowpack is soaked up to high altitudes during the daytime changes. On the shady slope, it often remains hard-frozen on the surface, below which there is partly unbound edged snow at altitude, which can serve as a weak layer in exceptional cases. This is the case, for example, over the hard old snow from early winter. The snow depth is well below average at all altitudes.

Some valleys will initially be foggy on Saturday, while visibility will be good on the mountains with high cloud fields. The wind will be weak to moderate from the south. At 2000 m around 3 degrees, at 3000 m around -3 degrees, frost line: 2300 - 2600 m.

The avalanche danger remains low.
