Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m.
Avalanches can in isolated cases be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. The wind slabs of last week can still be released in some cases in particular on shady slopes. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2400 m. These places are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. In addition individual mostly small gliding avalanches are possible.
Snowpack
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
Wind slabs are lying on unfavourable layers on steep northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Faceted weak layers exist in the centre of the old snowpack, especially on northwest, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
Danger level
Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind, clearly visible wind slabs formed in the last few days. These are mostly only small but can be released in isolated cases. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
As a consequence of a strong northerly foehn wind, small wind slabs formed in the last few days. These are in isolated cases prone to triggering on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
The snowpack is faceted and weak, especially on west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. On steep sunny slopes hardly any snow is lying. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
Tendency
Over a wide area up to 15 cm of snow will fall until midday. As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force wind from variable directions, avalanche prone wind slabs will form. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above the tree line.
