Snowdrifts at high altitudes, glide-snow/moist loose-snow avalanches during the daytime
Avalanche danger is low. In steep sun-bathed terrain, small moist loose-snow avalanches are possible. Above 2000m, mostly small avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts in steep terrain. Danger zones occur esp. on steep shady ridgeline slopes. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall require adequate caution. On steep grass-covered slopes with sufficient snow on the ground or atop smooth ground, increasingly frequent small-to-medium glide-snow avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
At high altitudes a few cm of fresh snow was registered. In the early part of the night, some clouds but mostly clear, so that a melt-freeze crust capable of bearing loads will be able to form, later in the day softening up, the snowpack will become superficially moist and forfeit its bonding. Foehn winds have deposited thin drifts on north-facing slopes which lie atop soft layers and are prone to triggering in places.
Tendency
On Wednesday temperatures will drop and snow showers will pass through, snowfall level at 1500m. No significant change expected
