Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2000m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2000m, E-SE-S-SW-W

At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. In some localities 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. 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 steep shady slopes above approximately 1800 m, and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften during the day. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on very steep shady slopes. Below approximately 1700 m hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency

The weather will be mild. Increase in danger of wet and gliding avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

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. At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
Early and late morning: Low avalanche danger will prevail.
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 will soften during the day. This applies in particular on sunny slopes.
In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes, especially above approximately 2400 m in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow.
At intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. At low altitude no snow is lying.

Tendency

Increase in danger of gliding avalanches and snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying.

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. 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 at the base of rock walls and on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m, but in isolated cases also on shady slopes below approximately 2200 m.
From origins in starting zones where no previous releases have taken place moist and wet avalanches are possible, but they can be large in isolated cases.

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario

The old snowpack will be generally well bonded. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften during the day.
In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the old snowpack on shady slopes, especially above approximately 2400 m in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow.
At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying.

Tendency

The weather will be mild. Increase in danger of gliding avalanches and snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

Danger level
Danger Level 1 - Low


Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field.
Low avalanche danger will be encountered over a wide area.
Midday and afternoon: Slight increase in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Moist snow slides are the main danger. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep sunny slopes at high altitude.

Snowpack

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 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 moist snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
