Local avalanche prone locations due to wind slab and a few due to the persistent weak layer problem!

Local avalanche prone locations due to wind slab and a few due to the persistent weak layer problem!

The avalanche risk is moderate at high altitudes. There are still localised avalanche prone locations in the steep terrain at high altitudes, especially adjacent to ridgelines, behind ridges and in steep bowls and gullies. Here, snowdrift accumulations, as small to rarely medium slab avalanches, can sometimes still be triggered by low additional loads. In a few places in the steep terrain at high altitudes, slab avalanches could still be triggered due to the problem of old snow.

In the higher elevations, there are still localised snowdrift accumulations that can be prone to triggering. The snowpack is mostly stable, up to high altitudes in the centre it is partly moist. At high altitudes and on shady slopes, the snow base, fundament is partly weakened.

On Sunday, visibility is often good and the sun is often shining. A few denser clouds will appear temporarily in the afternoon and visibility will become more diffuse. The wind will blow briskly from south to east. At 1500 metres around 0 degrees, at 2000 metres around -3 degrees. Monday will be mostly sunny. At first the sun will shine from a blue sky. Then clouds will form, but it should remain dry. In 1500 m up to 2 degrees, in 2000 m around -2 degrees.

No significant change.
