Isolated danger zones in extremely steep shady terrain
Avalanche danger is low. Isolated avalanche prone locations occur on extremely steep shady slopes. The risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require caution.
Particularly on steep shady slopes, unfavorable intermediate layers inside the old snowpack have often persisted. During recent nights, surface hoar has often been generated. The melt-freeze crust which formed overnight will soften up on sunny slopes during daytime hours. At lower altitudes there is little snow on the ground. South-facing slopes are increasingly becoming bare of snow.
Sunny, good visibility. Rising southerly winds will be limited, feelable only in foehn-exposed lanes. Temperature at 2000m: -3 degrees; at 3000m: -9 degrees. Moderate to brisk SW winds, intensifying in afternoon and evening.
No significant change anticipated
