Fresh wind slabs represent the main danger. Small and medium-sized moist and wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
As a consequence of new snow and wind from variable directions, wind slabs formed in the last few days in particular at elevated altitudes. These can in some places be released, mostly by large loads and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls on very steep slopes at high altitude. As a consequence of warming and solar radiation, the natural activity of avalanches will increase, in particular on very steep slopes below approximately 2200 m, and at the base of rock walls. In addition small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible, especially on very steep grassy slopes.
Snowpack
dp.10: springtime scenario
The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area. The more recent wind slabs remain in some cases prone to triggering especially on very steep shady slopes at intermediate and high altitudes. In some cases snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Below the tree line from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
As a consequence of warming, the natural activity of moist and wet avalanches will increase, in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

Wet snow
Increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides in the course of the day.
The early morning will see quite favourable conditions generally. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of moist and wet snow slides. Wet avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. In addition individual small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible.

dp.10: springtime scenario
The fresh wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to softening of the snowpack. Below the tree line from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Wet and gliding avalanches are the main danger.

Fresh wind slabs require caution. Increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides in the course of the day.
The early morning will see quite favourable conditions generally. The more recent wind slabs of Monday can still be released in some cases on steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas above approximately 2600 m.
As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of moist and wet snow slides. Wet avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2600 m, as well as in all aspects below approximately 2400 m. In addition individual gliding avalanches are possible, especially in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation on very steep grassy slopes.
