Danger level

The mostly small wind slabs of the last few days represent the main danger.
Wind slabs can in some places be released, even by a single winter sport participant, especially on very steep slopes above approximately 2500 m. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. In very isolated cases dry avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack. Mostly avalanches are rather small.
Snowpack
As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs formed in the last few days. Some fresh snow and in particular the mostly small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence.
Sunshine and high temperatures gave rise to increasing and thorough wetting of the snowpack over a wide area below approximately 2400 m.
The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations.
At low and intermediate altitudes only a little snow is lying. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The snowpack consists of faceted crystals and its surface has a crust that is strong in many cases. There is a danger of falling here.
Tendency
On Friday as a consequence of new snow and strong wind there will be a significant increase in the danger of dry avalanches.
