Storm strength winds and fresh snowfall during the course of the day. Beware fresh snowdrifts.
As a result of snowfall and storm-strength winds, avalanche danger will increase to moderate over the course of the day above the timberline. Freshly generated snowdrifts can trigger mostly small-sized avalanches in some places even by minimum additional loading. Danger zones occur on wind-impacted drifted slopes and in wind-loaded gullies and bowls. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being forced to take a fall and being swept along also need to be taken into consideration.
Snowpack
Storm-strength winds are expected to transport the fresh fallen snow during the course of the day. The freshly generated drifts will be deposited primarily on shady slopes on top of an expansively metamorphosed snowpack surface, and are prone to triggering. Snow depths are significantly below average at all altitudes. Only limited information is available to the Avalanche Warning Services from outlying terrain.
Tendency
Due to fresh snowfall and winds, avalanche danger is expected to increase somewhat.
