It is slowly moving eastwards, so that a southwesterly airstream will reach the Alps by the weekend. Mountain weather today: blue skies, sunshine, outstanding visibility, mild temperatures. In a word: superb conditions for winter sports. Temperature at 2000m, +2 degrees; at 3000m, -3 degrees. Light southerly winds. Snow Layering Snow quality has deteriorated over the last few days. On sunny slopes, often breakable melt-freeze crusts except where snow is shallower, on very steep, south facing slopes around 2000m, where the crusts can frequently bear loads. Elsewhere the snowpack above the treeline bears heavy marks of wind impact. Weak layers inside the snowpack: in all aspects, thin crusts interspersed with faceted crystals. Their bonding has improved somewhat in the interim, particularly on sunny slopes, due to the warmth of recent days; nonetheless, nests of depth hoar which are notorious fracture propagators, still threaten. Avalanche Danger Avalanche danger is contingent not only on altitude, but also on time of day. This morning, danger levels are now moderate widespread (also low, beneath 1600m). During the day as the sun moistens the snowpack, dangers will increase: above approximately 2000m to considerable, below that altitude to moderate. Danger zones in the morning are found on very steep shady slopes above about 1800m, especially frequent up to about 2600m, then above that altitude particularly in ridgeline terrain. As of late morning, very steep sunny slopes are perilous, especially above about 2000m. Avalanches are easiest to trigger in transitions from shallow to deep snow. The general rule: avalanches can mostly trigger by large additional loading, although in some cases, even minimum additional loading is sufficient. Furthermore, on steep, grassy slopes, gliding avalanches threaten, i.e. the ones that slide away at ground level.
