Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2200m, N-NE-NW
A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail. High altitudes and the high Alpine regions: Wind slabs require caution.
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
As a consequence of a sometimes moderate northerly wind, rather small wind slabs formed in places that are protected from the wind. This applies in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Mostly the avalanches are rather small and can mostly only be released by large loads.
In particular intermediate altitudes: Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
dp 2: gliding snow
As a consequence of the strong wind the wind slabs will increase in size additionally. The wind slabs are lying on a crust on east to south to west facing aspects. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack.
At low altitude no snow is lying.
Tendency
As a consequence of solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides, in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
