Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above the treeline, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
As a consequence of fresh snow and wind a moderate avalanche danger will prevail.
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
The wind slabs represent the main danger. These can in some cases be released by small loads and reach medium size, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas in all aspects in particular above the tree line.
As a consequence of the solar radiation, the likelihood of loose snow avalanches being released will increase a little in particular on rocky slopes. Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered very occasionally in these regions.
Snowpack
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow. fell. Over a wide area fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. This applies in particular on east, south and west facing slopes. The fresh wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on shady slopes above the tree line. The weather will be cold. The brittle wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes above the tree line.
Tendency
Slight decrease in danger of dry avalanches as a consequence of warming. Gradual increase in danger of moist and wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
