Persistent weak layers in high altitudes!
Avalanche danger iabove the treeline is moderate and below that low. The main problem is fresh snowdrift which has formed in all expositions dur to turning winds. The amount of danger spots is increasing with height. Small to medium slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads.. Caution in steep entries, in gullies and bowls and in general on slopes behind ridgelines. Small spontaneous loose-snow avalanches coming from extremely steep, rocky terrain on sunny slopes are possible.
Snowpack
Due to variable winds snowdrift deposits have formed in all expositions which are layered partially as weak layers within the old snow. The snow base itself is predominantly made of faceted snow crystals and relatively soft. Due to warming and sun radiation the snow can loose its stability on the surface.
Tendency
On Thursday sunny and mild mountain weather. The danger to trigger slab avalanches decreases but the wet snow problem increases.
