Danger level
Danger Level 2 - Moderate above 2200m
Danger Level 1 - Low above 2200m
Avalanche Problem
Wind-drifted snow above 2200m, N-NE-E-NW


Fresh wind slabs above approximately 2200 m.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
More recent wind slabs represent the main danger. These can in some places be released and reach medium size, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas on steep northwest, north and east facing slopes especially above approximately 2200 m.
As a consequence of the solar radiation, the likelihood of loose snow avalanches being released will increase on steep sunny slopes.

Snowpack

dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind

Over a wide area fresh snow and wind slabs are lying on a hard crust. The fresh wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on shady slopes above the tree line. The brittle wind slabs are bonding only slowly with the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. The weather will be mostly sunny.

Tendency

Slow warming: Slight increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of solar radiation.
