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 small 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 on flat ground, partly settled, partly encrusted thin wind slabs cover the meadows or the icy old snow surface. Edged persistent weak layers weaken the thin snow base, fundament if present.

High cloud fields will soon gather on Wednesday, the light will become increasingly diffuse, but it will remain dry and the wind will only be moderately strong. Around -2 degrees at 2000 metres.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
