On the steepest slopes, a small creep of new snow can be triggered. A small avalanche of dry, packed snow can be triggered when snow drifts are loaded on steep slopes. Even small avalanches can cause a loss of balance and a fall into an abyss.
Especially on shady slopes above 2400 m, a small or medium-sized avalanche can be triggered by a heavy load.
Snowpack
During the last deterioration at the beginning of the week, a lot of new snow fell above about 2400 m, almost 1 metre. Snow fell on frosted ground on the slopes and on dry, fresh snow on the axis. By Friday evening, 20-30 cm of new dry snow will have fallen with light to moderate north-easterly winds. Smaller snow drifts are forming in the immediate vicinity of the ridges.
Tendency
During the night and day on Saturday, a stronger northeasterly wind will carry snow and build up large snow drifts. Avalanche probability will therefore be higher on Saturday than on Friday.

Snow is scarce in the mountains. By Friday evening, 20-30 cm of new dry snow will have fallen with light to moderate north-easterly winds. Smaller snow drifts are forming close to the ridges.
