Caution: small-area drifts at high altitudes
Fresh snow and drifts are trigger-sensitive esp on shady steep slopes, small-to-medium avalanches can be triggered by winter sports enthusiasts in steep terrain. Danger zones occur esp. on ridgeline shady steep slopes and in extremely steep terrain. 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, 10-15 cm of fresh snow was registered on Thursday, on Friday another 5-10cm is expected regionally, accompanied by moderate-velocity winds which will deposited fresh snowdrifts atop soft layers on shady slopes, often with blanketed graupel, bonding only moderately good. The highly diverse snowpack is well consolidated. Below 1500m there is little snow on the ground. On sunny slopes and at lower altitudes the fresh snow will fall on bare ground.
Tendency
On Saturday, only intermittent snow showers. Avalanche danger levels not expected to change significantly.
