Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2600m, SE-S-SW

A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable avalanche conditions generally, but the danger of wet avalanches will increase later.

The avalanche conditions are spring-like. In the late morning a low avalanche danger will be encountered over a wide area. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface, caution is to be exercised on steep sunny slopes.

Midday and afternoon:
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of moist and wet snow slides to level 2 (moderate). The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m.

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario

The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area. The wind slabs of last week have bonded well with the old snowpack. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. This applies in all aspects at intermediate altitudes as well as on sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

The backcountry and freeriding conditions remain favourable. Increase in danger of wet snow slides as the day progresses.

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. This applies in all aspects at intermediate altitudes as well as on steep sunny slopes in particular below approximately 2800 m. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

The backcountry and freeriding conditions remain favourable. Increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches as the day progresses.
