Wet loose-snow avalanches are hardly possible.
Due to fresh snow and strong-to-storm velocity southerly winds, trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations have been generated esp. above 1800m on NW/N/NE facing slopes, in gullies and bowls, and behind protruberances in the terrain. Avalanches can grow to medium size, and can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts.
Since Wednesday above 1800m, about 10-20 cm of fresh snow has been registered, locally more. Another 15-20cm cm of fresh snow is still expected. Winds are transporting the fresh snow. Fresh snow and drifts are being deposited on shady slopes atop an unfavorable old snowpack surface (soft layers).
On Saturday, snowfall level will ascend to 1000m and by afternoon to 1400m. In exposed terrain, strong S/SW winds (60 km/hr). At 2000m: +1 degree in afternoon; at 1000m: 3 degrees.
No significant rise in avalanche danger
