Danger level
Danger Level 2 - Moderate above the treeline
Danger Level 1 - Low above the treeline
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-W-NW
Wet snow above 2600m, E-SE-S-SW-W
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, mostly small wind slabs will form in all aspects. They can in some places be released easily. The wind slabs are to be bypassed as far as possible. As a consequence of the solar radiation, the likelihood of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides being released will increase a little.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 2: gliding snow
Over a wide area wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The snowpack remains moist at low and intermediate altitudes. Dry and moist avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate deep layers and reach medium size.
Tendency
Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Danger level
Danger Level 2 - Moderate
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-SE-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2600m, E-SE-S-SW-W
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from northwesterly directions, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form in all aspects. The fresh and older wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence. Caution is to be exercised in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are more prevalent. Individual gliding avalanches are possible, in particular medium-sized ones, especially in the regions with a lot of snow below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided as far as possible.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 2: gliding snow
In the northwest and in the north in some regions up to 5 cm of snow. will fall. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the wind will be moderate to strong. As the day progresses the wind slabs will increase in size moderately. The fresh wind slabs are mostly rather small but can be released easily. Faceted weak layers exist deep in the old snowpack above approximately 2800 m. The snowpack will be moist below the tree line.
Tendency
Moderate, level 2.
