Low avalanche danger, little new fallen snow.

Low avalanche danger, little new fallen snow.

The avalanche risk is low. Thin pillows of wind drifted snow are occasionally lying behind the edges of the terrain. Take care in the entrance areas to steep gullies where the formerly hard or icy old snow surface has now been covered. In general, the risk of entrapment, falling and injury outweighs the risk of burial.

A few centimetres of new fallen snow (up to around 5 cm) and some thin wind slab cover previously bare ground, stones or the hard, icy surface of old snow. If present, the thin snow base, fundament is weakened by persistent weak layers.

It will become increasingly soft during the night, with fog patches forming in the valleys. On Friday, sunshine will often predominate above the fog and high cloud fields will quickly move eastwards in the morning. Visibility is usually very good. The wind will be light to moderate from west to north at all altitudes. Temperatures at 2000 m at -5.

No change in avalanche danger.
