On shady slopes, isolated near-surface weak layers

Predominantly favorable conditions prevail, with low avalanche danger. Isolated danger zones occur at high altitudes esp. on shady ridgeline steep slopes, they can trigger small slab avalanches in steep shady terrain. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate consideration. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, moist slides are increasingly possible.

Fresh snow and drifts of recent days have bonded well with the old snowpack by and large. Above 2200m on shady slopes, isolated near-surface weak layers are evident. The below-average old snowpack is well consolidated all in all. With rising temperatures and solar radiation, increasingly frequent gliding snow activity is expected.

Monday will bring radiant sunshine, only a few thin cirrus clouds above summit level in afternoon, temperatures continue to rise. At 2000: +1 degree. Light winds from varying directions.

Predominantly favorable conditions. With rising temperatures, increasingly frequent gliding snow is expected. During the course of the day, moist slides are increasingly possible.
