Danger level
Danger Level 1 - Low
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-NW
The snowpack will be generally well bonded.
The sometimes strong wind has transported only a little snow. The old wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. They can only be released by large loads in most cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep shady slopes above the tree line, especially in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. These places are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.
In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust.
Snowpack
The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases. In some cases relatively hard layers of snow are lying on old snow containing large grains. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. On south and southwest facing slopes a little snow is lying in all altitude zones.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.

Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-NW
The snowpack will be generally well bonded. The backcountry touring conditions are mostly favourable.
The sometimes strong wind has transported only a little snow. The small wind slabs are clearly recognisable. The older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. These can only be released by large loads in most cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep northwest to north to southeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m, especially in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.
In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the icy crust.
Snowpack
The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases. In some cases relatively hard layers of snow are lying on old snow containing large grains. Individual weak layers exist deep in the snowpack on shady slopes. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. Below approximately 1800 m only a little snow is lying on south and southwest facing slopes.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
