Avalanche Problem
Gliding snow above 2600m, E-SE-S-SW-W
Wet snow above 2800m, E-SE-S-SW-W
Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
The avalanche conditions in the morning are favourable.
Midday and afternoon: Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are the main danger. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m. These places are rather rare and are easy to recognise.
In addition a low (level 1) danger of dry slab avalanches exists. This applies in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. The avalanches are rather small and can be released by large loads.
Snowpack
dp 2: gliding snow
dp 10: springtime scenario
The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. This applies in particular on sunny slopes.
The somewhat older wind slabs are lying on weak layers in particular on shady slopes at high altitude. Such avalanche prone locations are rare.
The old snowpack will be in most cases stable. At intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. At low altitude no snow is lying.
Tendency
Slight increase in danger of gliding avalanches and snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
