Repeated generation of fresh snowdrifts
Avalanche danger above the timberline is CONSIDERABLE, below that altitude MODERATE Dangers focus on wind-loaded gullies adjacent to windblown zones and on steep leeward slopes, also on forest edges. Due to repeatedly shifting winds, all aspects are struck. Triggering a medium-to-large slab avalanche is possible even by minimum additional loading - the weight of one sole person.
On Friday, strong southerly winds will be blowing (just as on Wednesday) which will generate fresh snowdrifts and deposit them on north-facing slopes. On Thursday the cold fresh snow was transported by NW winds.
On Friday, frequent sunshine. In the afternoon, high-altitude clouds will move in from the west, create diffuse light conditions. Winds will shift to SW and reach transport strength. Temperature at 2000 m: -10 degrees. On Saturday, strong NW winds. Visibility variable. Intermittent bright intervals. At 2000 m: -8 degrees.
No significant change. CONSIDERABLE danger of slab avalanches above the treeline.
