Isolated avalanches can be triggered in extremely steep terrain. Most releases are small. Risks of falls and injuries outweigh those of being buried in snow masses. Isolated small-sized glide-snow avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
In some places traces of fresh fallen snow blanket a superficially melt-freeze encrusted, mostly hardened old snowpack surface, which softens up slightly during the daytime hours, particularly on sunny slopes. South-facing slopes are bare of snow up to high altitudes. Only limited information from outlying terrain is currently available to the Avalanche Warning Services.
Tendency
No significant change anticipated. Low avalanche danger.
Danger level
Isolated avalanche prone locations occur in persistent weak layer of old snow.
In very isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in persistent weak layers on very steep shady slopes in high alpine regions. These releases are mostly small-sized. The risks of falling and sustaining injuries outweigh those of being buried in snow masses. At very high altitudes over minor areas, freshly generated but small-sized snowdrift accumulations require attentiveness.
Snowpack
In some places traces of fresh fallen snow blanket a superficially melt-freeze encrusted, mostly hardened old snowpack surface, which softens up slightly during the daytime hours, particularly on sunny slopes. At high altitudes, small-sized snowdrift accumulations occur from place to place. On shady slopes in high alpine regions, isolated weak layers occur inside the snowpack. South-facing slopes are bare of snow up to high altitudes. Only limited information from outlying terrain is currently available to the Avalanche Warning Services.
