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.

The snow surface is slightly soaked on the sunny slopes and is often hard and icy on shady slopes. Edged persistent weak layers weaken the thin snow base, fundament if present.

Thursday will be mostly dry but cloudy. In the afternoon, it may clear up a little from the west. The wind will still be blowing briskly from the south in the morning, but will then ease considerably. Temperatures at 2000 metres will be around -2 degrees.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
