Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-W-NW
Wet snow above 2000m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
The fresh snow and wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence above approximately 2000 m. On steep grassy slopes and at the base of rock walls individual moist loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small.
As a consequence of warming during the day individual natural avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small. These can in isolated cases penetrate down to the ground and reach medium size. In particular, however, the wind slabs must be taken into account. They can be released, even by small loads in isolated cases. Above the tree line the likelihood of avalanches being released is greater. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep slopes of all aspects and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.
Snowpack
The southerly wind has transported the fresh snow significantly. It is lying on top of a quite favourable old snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. The fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on very steep north, northeast and northwest facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Faceted weak layers exist deep in the snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes.
