The conditions remain favourable.

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in near-ground layers by large loads. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep, little used north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. As a consequence of solar radiation individual moist and wet avalanches are possible as the day progresses, but they will be mostly small.

Snowpack

The old snowpack will be generally stable. The mostly small wind slabs of recent weeks have bonded quite well with the old snowpack in particular on steep sunny slopes. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in very steep terrain. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften earlier than the day before, especially below approximately 2500 m. Faceted weak layers exist deep in the snowpack on rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes.

Tendency

Down to 1500 m and below snow will fall over a wide area. Gradual increase in avalanche danger as the snowfall becomes more intense.

Danger level
Danger Level 1 - Low above 1800m
No Rating above 1800m
Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer above 2000m, N-NE-NW

In the Etschtal and in neighbouring regions hardly any snow is lying on north and northeast facing slopes.

The avalanche conditions remain spring-like. From a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation a low danger of moist and wet snow slides will be encountered in some localities.

Snowpack

Only a little snow is lying on north and northeast facing slopes. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze and will soften during the day.

Tendency

Above approximately 1600 m snow will fall over a wide area. Gradual increase in avalanche danger as the snowfall becomes more intense.
