In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2200 m as well as on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m.
The wind slabs of Thursday have bonded well with the old snowpack. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 3000 m, caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines.
Snowpack
dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 2: gliding snow
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften during the day. This applies in particular below approximately 2500 m in all aspects. The old snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.
Tendency
Wet avalanches as the day progresses.

The early morning will see quite favourable avalanche conditions at elevated altitudes. Gradual increase in danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides as the day progresses.
The early morning will see quite favourable conditions at elevated altitudes. In the late morning mostly small moist loose snow avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m, this applies in case of a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep slopes. As the day progresses the likelihood of wet loose snow avalanches being released will increase a little in particular below approximately 2500 m.
In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2200 m as well as on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m.

The wind slabs of Thursday can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases on very steep shady slopes above approximately 3000 m. Gradual increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides as a consequence of the moist air.
The deep wind slabs of Thursday can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases on very steep shady slopes above approximately 3000 m, caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines.
As a consequence of warming during the day, the likelihood of wet loose snow avalanches being released will increase gradually. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2500 m on extremely steep slopes.
In addition a certain danger of wet slab avalanches exists, in particular on very steep shady slopes between approximately 1800 and 2200 m.

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack is frozen, but not to a significant depth and will already soften in the late morning. This applies below approximately 2500 m. The old snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Wet avalanches as the day progresses.
