Danger level
Danger Level 1 - Low
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2400m, N-NE-E-W-NW


The snowpack will be generally stable. Fresh wind slabs require caution.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger, in particular at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Wind slabs can in very isolated cases be released by small loads, especially on very steep shady slopes in pass areas above approximately 2400 m. Mostly the avalanches are small.
Intermediate altitudes: As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be only a slight increase in the danger of gliding avalanches and moist snow slides, in particular on steep sunny slopes.

Snowpack

dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind

Very steep shady slopes: The wind slabs are lying on soft layers. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack, in particular on steep, little used shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
East, south and west facing slopes: The wind slabs are lying on a crust. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will hardly soften at all.
At low altitude no snow is lying.

Tendency

Low avalanche danger will persist.
