Danger level

Low avalanche danger will prevail. The conditions are favourable over a wide area.

Wind slabs are in individual cases still prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. This applies in particular adjacent to ridgelines.

Only isolated gliding avalanches are possible, in particular on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided. Only isolated moist avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small, in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

Snowpack

Some snow fell on Thursday, in particular in the north. Over a wide area strong northwesterly wind above the tree line.

The snowpack will be in most cases stable.
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: Early and late morning: The old snowpack is moist and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is strong in many cases. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to slight moistening of the snowpack in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

Tendency

The avalanche conditions are favourable over a wide area. The wind will be strong in some cases.
