Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2600m, E-SE-S-SW-W
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in all aspects above approximately 2200 m. This applies in particular 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, even quite large 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 some localities up to 10 cm of snow. fell, in particular in the northwest and in the north. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the wind was strong to storm force in some cases. The fresh wind slabs are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The rather small wind slabs are lying on soft layers. They can in some cases be released easily. The older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack.
The snowpack will be moist below the tree line.
Tendency
Moderate, level 2. As a consequence of fresh snow and wind there will be only a slight increase in the avalanche danger, in particular in the south and in the southwest.
