Danger level

2600m

Wind slab

2600m

A mostly favourable avalanche situation will prevail. Wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

The wind slabs of the last few days can still be released in some cases. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Even a small avalanche can sweep winter sport participants along and give rise to falls, caution is to be exercised on extremely steep slopes.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind

The wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
Hardly any weak layers exist in the old snowpack.
Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

Tendency

Easter Monday: The weather conditions will bring about a gradual stabilisation of the snow drift accumulations.
Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming.

Danger level

2600m

Wind slab

2600m

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on extremely steep slopes above approximately 2600 m and in gullies and bowls. The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases, but mostly only by large additional loads,.

Snowpack

The snowpack will be generally well bonded. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust and will hardly soften at all. In all aspects in all altitude zones only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year. Below approximately 2000 m from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Tendency

The danger will persist.
