Gradual increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches as the day progresses. Wind slabs at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions.

The backcountry and freeriding conditions are unfavourable. Fresh snow and wind slabs can in some places be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. The avalanche prone locations are quite prevalent and are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.
In the last two days the weather has been very mild. On Sunday the likelihood of moist small and medium sized avalanches being released will increase further. A latent danger of gliding avalanches exists.

Snowpack

dp 3: rain

As a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind the wind slabs will increase in size once again as the day progresses. This applies above approximately 2000 m. The fresh snow and wind slabs will be deposited on soft layers, especially on wind-protected shady slopes above the tree line as well as in areas close to the tree line. In some places relatively hard layers of snow are lying on old snow containing large grains.

Tendency

Monday: Dry and wet avalanches are possible.

Avalanche Problem

Wet snow above 2300m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Wet and gliding avalanches are possible.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places even by individual winter sport participants in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes. At transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example the snowpack is more prone to triggering. The fresh wind slabs can in some cases be released by small loads.
The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable because of the poor visibility. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Ski touring and other off-piste activities, including snowshoe hiking, call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger. The avalanche situation is more favourable in highly frequented off-piste terrain.
As a consequence of the rain, the likelihood of natural avalanches being released will increase below approximately 2300 m.

Snowpack

dp 7: snow-poor zones in snow-rich surrounding
dp 3: rain

Faceted weak layers exist in the snowpack in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes, in particular in places that are protected from the wind between approximately 2200 and 2600 m. Relatively hard layers of snow are lying on old snow containing large grains.
In some regions rain to 2300 m.

Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of fresh snow and strong wind.

As a consequence of a storm force wind from westerly directions, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions, especially on wind-protected shady slopes.

The danger of dry and wet avalanches will increase a little during the day.

The more recent wind slabs can still be released in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line. As a consequence of warming during the day small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible. They can be released in the weakly bonded old snow in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. In particular transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack where weaknesses exist in the old snowpack are precarious.

Snowpack

The strong wind will transport the loosely bonded old snow. In particular above the tree line mostly small wind slabs will form. Large-grained weak layers exist in the snowpack especially on steep, rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.

Tendency

The wind will be strong to storm force over a wide area.

The danger of dry and wet avalanches will increase a little during the day.

Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are mostly rather small and can be released by large loads in particular. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions avalanche prone locations are a little more prevalent. A clear night will be followed in the early morning by quite favourable conditions generally, but the danger of wet and gliding avalanches will increase later. Moist avalanches can be released in near-ground layers in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard crust.

Snowpack

The snowpack will be in most cases well bonded. Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls mostly small wind slabs formed. The strong wind will transport only a little snow. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.

Tendency

The wind will be moderate to strong at times over a wide area.
