Stability: poor · Frequency: some
The lastest round of fresh snowfall has been deposited as loose-snow following the lower temperatures atop a well consolidated, often encrusted old snowpack surface. In high altitude ridgeline terrain it was often transported, thus generating small-area drifted masses. Not much snow on the ground at low altitudes.
Nighttime skies will be very cold, despite high-altitude clouds. On Tuesday, initially a few clouds, later on very sunny and no longer quite as cold. At 2000m: -7 to 0 degrees. Moderate to strong NE winds and high altitudes.
Avalanche danger levels will continue to diminish
Favorable conditions. Caution: small-area snowdrift accumulations
Avalanche danger at high altitudes is moderate, danger below that altitude is low. In ridgeline terrain, in gullies and bowls, freshly generated snowdrift accumulations require caution. They are mostly small-sized, but poorly bonded with the old snowpack and thus, prone to triggering. In risky terrain for falls, evaluate the drifts with caution, small-sized - avalanches can be triggered by one sole skier. Glide-snow avalanches still possible.
