Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-NW
Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger.
Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and wind, caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. In regions exposed to heavier precipitation avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is greater. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
2 to 10 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall, in particular in the west and in the north. The strong wind will transport the fresh and old snow. In some cases wind slabs are lying on soft layers. As the day progresses the wind slabs will increase in size. The old snowpack will be generally well bonded.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will increase, in particular in the west and in the north.
