The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. Adjacent to ridgelines above approximately 2700 m: Mostly small wind slabs will form. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases. Especially very steep shady slopes: In very isolated cases the avalanches can be triggered in deep layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual mostly small wet avalanches are possible as the day progresses above approximately 2300 m. In some localities 0 to 5 cm of snow fell on Saturday above approximately 2500 m. Little snow will fall until the evening in the east. The new snow of Easter Sunday has settled to a large extent in all aspects. This snow remains in some cases prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2800 m. The snowpack will be quite moist. The old snowpack is unfavourably layered. Yesterday at intermediate altitudes further small avalanches were reported. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. The weather conditions will cause a slight rise in the avalanche danger as the day progresses. 2022-04-30T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-05-01T10:00:00Z 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 wet snow 2300 2800 drifting snow steady 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z 2022-05-02T22:00:00Z In some localities a little new snow above approximately 2400 m.

This is the final hazard map for the winter 2021/22. Regular avalanche bulletins with hazard maps will appear again from around the start of December, depending on the snow situation. As the day progresses numerous small and medium-sized moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected above approximately 1800 m. This applies on extremely steep slopes, in the event of prolonged bright spells especially. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. In addition the small wind slabs of last week are prone to triggering in isolated cases still. This applies on near-ridge shady slopes in high Alpine regions. 15 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, has fallen above approximately 1800 m. The wind will be light over a wide area. The meteorological conditions will bring about a weakening of the near-surface layers as the day progresses in all aspects. The older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack in high Alpine regions. In all regions only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. Moist loose snow avalanches are the main danger. 2022-04-30T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-04-30T22:00:00Z 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP10 wet snow new snow steady 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z 2022-05-02T22:00:00Z The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. In some localities 5 to 15 cm of snow has fallen since yesterday above approximately 2000 m. The new snow and wind slabs of yesterday can be released by a single winter sport participant in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 1900 m. In very isolated cases the avalanches can be triggered in deep layers of the snowpack and reach medium size. The weather conditions will cause a gradual weakening of the snowpack as the day progresses. On very steep slopes individual moist snow slides and avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small, especially at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects and in gullies and bowls in all altitude zones. Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are mostly small. These are to be avoided in particular in very steep terrain. 2022-04-30T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-04-30T22:00:00Z 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP10 drifting snow steady 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z 2022-05-02T22:00:00Z In some localities some new snow to above approximately 2200 m. The danger of moist avalanches will already exist in the early morning. The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night and will already be soft in the early morning. In some localities 2 to 5 cm of snow will fall from midday above approximately 2200 m. The new snow and wind slabs can still be released in some cases in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2700 m. In isolated cases the avalanches can be triggered in deep layers of the snowpack and reach medium size in some cases. As the temperature drops hardly any more moist and wet avalanches are to be expected below approximately 2400 m. The snowpack will be moist below approximately 2500 m. In some places new snow is lying on the soft surface of an old snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular at intermediate and high altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. The danger of dry and moist avalanches will persist. 2022-04-30T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-04-30T22:00:00Z 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2 1 DP10 DP6 drifting snow steady 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z 2022-05-02T22:00:00Z In some localities some new snow to above approximately 2200 m.

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in deep layers reach medium size especially on steep north, northwest and northeast facing slopes. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften during the day. The wet avalanches can occur easily or triggered naturally. Weak layers exist in the snowpack especially on north, northeast and northwest facing slopes. In addition the danger of moist and wet avalanches will increase as the day progresses. 2022-04-30T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-04-30T22:00:00Z 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 DP10 DP6 wet snow steady 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z 2022-05-02T22:00:00Z Moist and wet snow slides are the main danger.

Regular avalanche bulletins with hazard maps will appear again from around the start of December, depending on the snow situation. Moist and wet snow slides are the main danger. As the day progresses numerous mostly small moist loose snow slides are to be expected above approximately 1800 m. In the regions exposed to heavier precipitation medium-sized loose snow avalanches are to be expected, in the event of prolonged bright spells especially. In addition the small wind slabs of last week are prone to triggering in isolated cases still. This applies on near-ridge shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The weather conditions will prevent a strengthening of the near-surface layers in particular below approximately 2400 m. 10 to 20 cm of snow will fall from early morning above approximately 1800 m. The wind will be light. The new snow is bonding well with the old snowpack.

Slight increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides in the course of the day. 2022-04-30T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-04-30T22:00:00Z 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 DP5 new snow steady 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z 2022-05-02T22:00:00Z Wind slabs and wet snow require caution. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls in northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2000 m. The old snowpack will be generally well bonded. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will soften quickly. These conditions will facilitate a substantial weakening of the snowpack as the day progresses. 2022-04-30T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-04-30T22:00:00Z 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 wet snow steady 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z 2022-05-02T22:00:00Z The backcountry touring conditions are spring-like. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual small moist and wet avalanches are possible above approximately 2500 m. Backcountry tours, off-piste skiing and ascents to alpine cabins should be started and concluded early. Below approximately 2500 m from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The snowpack will be generally moist. The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area. The meteorological conditions will bring about a weakening of the near-surface layers in the afternoon in particular on very steep sunny slopes. Below approximately 2500 m only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. The danger of moist avalanches will increase during the day. 2022-04-30T15:00:00Z Avalanche.report 2022-04-30T22:00:00Z 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z Avalanche.report 1 1 DP10 wet snow steady 2022-05-01T22:00:00Z 2022-05-02T22:00:00Z In some localities some new snow to above approximately 2200 m.
