In the lower part of the snowpack, particularly on west-facing, north-facing and east-facing slopes above approximately 2200
m, there are weak layers evident. In western Lower Valais and on the northern flank of the Alps these ground-level layers
are covered by thick layers of fresher snow so that the likelihood of avalanches being triggered by persons is low. From central
Valais over the Ticino as far as Grisons the snowpack layering is least favourable. In those regions there have been isolated
medium-sized avalanches triggered by persons during the last few days.
The activity of gliding avalanches is continuing to diminish incrementally. Nevertheless, gliding avalanches continue to be
possible on steep grass-covered slopes which have not yet discharged in isolated cases.
During a night of clear skies on Sunday, a melt-freeze crust which is capable of bearing loads will form on the snowpack surface
of very steep south-facing slopes.
As a consequence of daytime warming and solar radiation, the snowpack surface will become moist on steep south-facing slopes.
