Isolated snowdrift accumulations still prone to triggering!
The avalanche danger is assessed as low. The snowdrift accumulations above around 2000 m are still prone to disturbance and are mainly located in gullies and bowls, behind broad ridges and ridgelines with a northern or eastern aspect. In a few places, the wind slab can be triggered by individuals as a small slab avalanche. However, the avalanche prone locations are easily recognisable. In addition to the risk of burial in terrain traps, the risk of being swept away and falling must also be taken into account. The number of avalanche prone locations decreases from north to south.
Snowpack
The snowdrift accumulations that have formed due to the strong to stormy winds of the last few days remain prone to triggering. These often lie on angular shapes or a hardness of old snowpack. The snow surface is hard or icy on sunny slopes and windward terrain. In shady slope terrain, the kinetic metamorphism weakens the snow cover, snowpack. However, the potential for break propagation is very low. The snow depth is below average in all mountain groups.
Tendency
There will be no significant change in the snow and avalanche situation in the coming days. On Wednesday, it will remain mainly cloudy and cold with mostly moderate winds. On Thursday, the north-westerly winds will be strong to stormy and light snow will start to fall in the northern foothills. On Friday, a warm front will lead to further precipitation.
