Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2200m, E-SE-S-SW
New snow above 1200m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
At elevated altitudes a moderate avalanche danger will still be encountered.
Small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized natural avalanches are possible in particular on steep grassy slopes. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
Snowpack
As a consequence of northerly wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines. The wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in all aspects. The old snowpack will be in most cases moist.
