Low avalanche danger and lack of snow

Low avalanche danger and lack of snow

The avalanche risk is low. There is very little snow, only in the entrance areas to steep, on shady slopes can there be pillows of wind drifted snow. Otherwise, the danger of injury from stones and falling on icy surfaces outweighs the risk of burial.

On shady slopes and flat ground, traces of settled new fallen snow or thin wind slabs cover the previously apery meadows or icy old snow surface. Edged persistent weak layers weaken the thin snow base, fundament if present.

During the course of the night and on Sunday, extensive and sometimes quite dense medium-high cloud fields will also move through above the high fog patches near the valley. The sun will have a hard time with partly limited visibility and will only break through the clouds occasionally and often in a very subdued manner. The wind will be weak at all altitudes. Temperatures at 2000 metres around -6 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
