Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SW-W-NW
Wet snow above 2200m above 1600m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Much of the fresh and wind-drifted snow represent the main danger. On steep grassy slopes and on wind-loaded slopes more moist loose snow avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones.
50 to 80 cm of snow, and up to 100 cm in some localities, has fallen in the last three days above approximately 1600 m. More natural avalanches are possible, even quite large ones. These can in isolated cases penetrate down to the ground. In addition the deep wind slabs must be taken into account. These can be released by small loads and reach large size in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes of all aspects and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Above the tree line the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. The conditions are very critical for backcountry touring and snowshoe hiking outside marked and open pistes.
Snowpack
The southerly wind has transported the fresh snow significantly. It is bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects. Faceted weak layers exist deep in the snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes.
Tendency
Gradual decrease in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
