Little snow, small drift snow problem

Little snow, small drift snow problem

The avalanche danger is low, the main danger is drifting snow. Small slab avalanches can be triggered in very few places in steep west to north to east exposures at high altitudes.

Older drift snow packs on the snow surface are covered by a few centimetres of fresh snow overnight. Some of the drift snow packs are lying on soft layers and are still prone to disruption in places. Overall, there is still little snow.

Friday night will be overcast and precipitation will move in from the south around midnight. The intensity will be low, with a maximum of 5 cm of fresh snow falling at higher altitudes and occasional light snowfall in the valleys. On Friday, visibility will often be limited by dense clouds and a few snowflakes may still fall in the morning. In the afternoon, the clouds will break up more often and the sun may come out. Weak to moderate winds from south to west (peaks up to 30 km/h). Temperatures at 2000 m around -5 degrees, at 3000 m around -9 degrees.

Little change.
