Favorable backcountry conditions persist
Isolated danger zones on north-facing slopes, where the persistent weak layer (more deeply embedded weak layer) prevails. On shady, extremely steep slopes, triggering a slab cannot be ruled out. Glide-snow avalanche activity is increasing.
The snowpack is stable. Due to minor rainfall the snowpack surface is moist down to intermediate altitudes. The base is still stable. On extremely steep shady slopes above 2000 m, weak layers of faceted crystals are making the snowpack layering vulnerable.
As a result of NW winds, heavy cloud cover will move in during early morning, but the peaks will remain free and it is expected to remain dry. Starting at midday, more sunshine is anticipated, in the southern rimline ranges the clouds could persist for longer. Temperatures will drop slightly. At 2000 m: -5 to 0 degrees from east to west.
No significant change in avalanche danger is anticipated.
