Middle Lys Valley

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in steep terrain at intermediate and high altitudes.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in steep terrain at intermediate and high altitudes.

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate northwesterly wind, mostly small wind slabs formed on Friday. Caution is to be exercised on extremely steep slopes, especially at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example, in particular in the regions neighbouring those that are subject to danger level 2 (moderate). In these regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.

2 to 5 cm of snow fell during the night. The moderate wind has transported only a little snow. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. In all aspects snow depths vary greatly above approximately 2200 m, depending on the infuence of the wind. Below approximately 1900 m from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. On steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m a little snow is lying. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

The avalanche danger will persist.
