Avalanche forecast for Friday 20 February 2026.
Wind slabs require caution.
all day it applies above the treeline moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two, below low avalanche danger, so danger level one.
all day, above the treeline, we have a wind slab problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East.
In particular on wind-loaded slopes avalanches can be triggered in the faceted old snow. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in some cases. In very isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. Caution is to be exercised in particular on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line.
And now the snowpack:
Some snow has fallen. 10 to 20 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall. The sometimes strong wind will transport the new snow. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes.
We have the following danger patterns: dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind, dp.1: deep persistent weak layer.The tendency for Saturday 21 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.
Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
