Small fresh snowdrifted masses

Avalanche danger is low. Main danger: snowdrifts, near ridgelines, in gullies and bowls in all aspects. Triggering a usually small-to-medium avalanches is possible by minimum additional loading. In isolated cases, small-to-medium avalanches can be triggered inside the fresh snow (graupel) or in the melt-freeze crust of the old snow. As temperatures rise during the day, small naturally triggered loose-snow avalanches are likely in extremely steep terrain. Also isolated glide-snow avalanches are possible.

By Monday there was 10 cm of fresh snow registered far and wide, up to 50 cm in the northern barrier cloud regions. Through winds shifting from westerly to northern to easterly and on Monday also partly from the south, snowdrifts have been generated in all aspects. The fresh snow is mostly well bonded with the old snowpack, the old layers are well consolidated. Wind-exposed spots are bare. In the valleys and on sunny slopes up to intermediate altitudes there is little snow on the ground.

On Tuesday, very good visibility, sunshine, light winds, higher temperatures. At 2000 m: -6 degrees.

Little change
