The snowpack will be generally stable. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible, in particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes in all altitude zones. Mostly avalanches are small. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
Snowpack
The somewhat older wind slabs are lying on soft layers on very steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. They are in individual cases still prone to triggering. Towards its base, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations above the tree line. Intermediate and high altitudes: The snowpack is moist and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases, in particular on sunny slopes. During the day: The high temperatures will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack, in particular on sunny slopes.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.

Wet snow
Less snow than usual is lying. The conditions are mostly favourable.

Snowpack
The old snowpack will be quite stable. It is moist and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. The high temperatures will give rise to increasing moistening of the snowpack, in particular on sunny slopes.
