Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night due to thoroughly wet snowpack

all day it applies considerable avalanche danger, so danger level three.

all day, we have a wet snow problem. This in all aspects.

Attention, a special warning: Wet snow requires caution.

Wet-snow avalanches possible at any time or day or night, esp. at the foot of rock walls on the Italian border. Wet-snow avalanches can fracture down to ground level and grow to large size, esp. in zones with sufficient snow. Runout zones should be avoided. Unfavorable conditions for backcountry tours.

And now the snowpack:

Heavy rainfall is expected. Weather conditions are making the snowpack ever wetter, leading to a loss of firmness inside the snowpack, resulting to loss of snowpack firmness. On steep sunny slopes below 1600m, hardly any snow on the ground.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.3: rain, dp.10: springtime scenario.

The tendency for Saturday 19 April 2025 indicates a steady avalanche danger.
