Isolated avalanche prone locations on steep shady slopes
Avalanche danger is low. Isolated danger zones are located on extremely steep shady slopes. Small-sized avalanches can, in isolated cases, be triggered even by minimum additional loading. Danger zones occur mostly in transitions from shallow to deep snow, for example, at the entry point into gullies and bowls. The risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require caution.
The fresh fallen snow and drifts from last week were able to settle as a result of higher temperatures. The snowpack surface is melt-freeze encrusted in early morning, then soften up during the day, particularly on sunny slopes. At low altitudes there is little snow on the ground. South-facing slopes are becoming increasingly bare of snow.
Montag will bring sunny weather. Temperatures will drop slightly. The southerly wind will be feelable but will not disturb. Temperature at 2000m: dropping to +1 degree; at 3000m: -6 degrees. Moderate to brisk southerly winds at high altitudes.
No significant change anticipated
