Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow, N-NE-E-SE-NW
On wind-loaded slopes an unfavourable avalanche situation will persist in some regions.
As a consequence of a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in all aspects. These are clearly recognisable, especially in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain as well as adjacent to ridgelines in all aspects.
Weakly bonded old snow on north facing slopes. Individual avalanche prone locations for gliding avalanches are to be found in particular at high altitude. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack as well as in shady places that are protected from the wind. Avalanches can be released by large loads and reach medium size.
In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust.
Snowpack
Some snow will fall during the night in some regions. The fresh wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering in all aspects above the tree line. These are mostly small. The older wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack. Faceted weak layers exist in the old snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in particular above approximately 2300 m. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations.
Tendency
The snowpack will be generally stable. Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
