Couple of sunny days with cold nights and warm day hours. Weather will stay stable for a while before it will get warmer again.
Natural and rider-triggered wet avalanches are likely in the afternoon at lower elevations. Wind slabs are present in some isolated areas higher up due to recent moderate NW winds.
Keep an eye out for fresh avalanches - some observations are highly apprectiated!
Nothing reported yet
All observationsOn March 22-23 significant amount of graupel was deposited across various elevations and aspects (at least 3-5 cm at 2000 m. with more higher up) where it was later covered by some 20-25 cm of fresh snow at higher elevations.
Below that sit 30 - 40 cm of new snow of March 15th and 16th storm that was shifted by strong N and NW winds. Deeper in the pack, hard old wind slabs and thin facet layers sit above a sugary base layer, found in isolated areas. The snow depth is often over 200 cm. (up to 250 cm at 3000 m.) In shallow areas, weaker snow can be seen in shady high elevation locations.
Snowpack starts to turn isothermic at lower elevations due to current sptring warm weather - around 2000 m.
-4C during the night and 3C in the afternoon on Wednesday and Thursday at the resort level. Freezing level will stay at 2100 m. during night hours and will rise to about 2400 m. during the day. Some light clouds on Wednesday and partly cloudy on Thursday. No significant winds are forecasted.
Bad visibility on April 2nd.
Glide cracks and glide avalanches are likely and can produce large avalanches - don't stop underneath cracks, or just avoid these areas completely!
