As a consequence, moistness penetrates the snowpack causing it to forfeit its firmness. Especially on sun-exposed slopes the water reaches the ground-level layers which promotes gliding of the snow masses. Locally, weak intermediate layers have persisted in the uppermost meter of the snowpack on steep shady high altitude slopes. Elsewhere the snowpack has clearly settled and the snowpack base is mostly stable. Up to about 1600 m south-facing slopes are becoming increasingly bare of snow. Springlike conditions are set to continue. Backcountry ski, snowshoe or snowboard tours should be started early and be terminated early. Please note: public ski areas are currently not supervised and not secured from avalanche danger. At intermediate altitudes, avalanche danger in the Bavarian Alps rises to moderate in the course of the morning; at high altitudes only as of midday. Main problem: wet snow. Wet loose-snow avalanches can be expected up to the summits in steep rocky terrain in all aspects. The wet snow glides over the ground on smooth grass covered slopes which have not yet discharged, in sparsely wooded zones and on rock slabs. Small and medium-sized avalanches release especially due to solar radiation. Avalanche activities increase during the course of the day. At intermediate altitude it is also possible that wet snow avalanches release on shady slopes even the morning. Apart from that, small slab avalanches can be triggered on isolated extremely steep shady slopes at high altitude. This is now only possible by large additional loading where snow is shallow.
