Generally low avalanche danger

Generally low avalanche danger

Avalanche danger is generally low. Latent danger of glide-snow avalanches persists on steep grass-covered slopes, possible at any time of day or night, mostly small releases, on sunny slopes up to 2600 m. Avoid zones below glide cracks.

The snowpack is compact and thoroughly wet up to 2000 m, on sunny slopes up to 2600 m, wet down to the ground. On shady slopes above 2200 m, the snowpack still has reserves of cold, thus, loose layers can still weaken the snowpack

On Wednesday night, a bit of rainfall or snowfall is possible from the heavy clouds, snowfall level at 1500 m. On Thursday, visibility reduced somewhat, minor rainfall or snowfall is possible, snowfall level rising to 2000 m. Moderate to brisk S/W winds. At 2000 m: +1 degree.

The gliding snow problem will persist. Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly. There is currently no snow to be transported.
