As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are possible as the day progresses, but they can reach medium size in isolated cases, especially on very steep sunny slopes.
In particular steep south, southeast and southwest facing slopes: The snowpack is moist.

Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released by small loads and reach medium size. This applies in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line.
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The old wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above the tree line.
Weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack also on south facing slopes. This applies in particular in high Alpine regions.
As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface during the last few days, especially on steep sunny slopes. The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. This applies in particular on south facing slopes.
Gradual decrease in avalanche danger.

Winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases, with a large load in most cases. Avalanches can in some cases penetrate deep layers and reach medium size. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line, in isolated cases also on steep shady slopes in areas close to the tree line.
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are possible as the day progresses, but they can reach medium size in isolated cases, especially on very steep sunny slopes.
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations at elevated altitudes.
The somewhat older wind slabs of the last few days are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above the tree line. This also applies in isolated cases on south facing slopes in high Alpine regions. The weather conditions will foster a stabilisation of the snowpack.
Steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m: As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust will form on the surface. Low and intermediate altitudes: The old snowpack is moist and its surface consists of loosely bonded snow lying on a crust that is strong in many cases. This applies in particular on shady slopes.
Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released by individual winter sport participants in particular in little used terrain. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow, as well as at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Mostly the avalanches are medium-sized. The avalanche situation is more favourable in highly frequented off-piste terrain.

The weather conditions caused a substantial strengthening of the snowpack. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack in particular on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface during the last few days, especially on steep sunny slopes.
The old snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. This applies in particular on south facing slopes.

Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in very isolated cases by winter sport participants in particular in little used terrain. Avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate deep layers and reach large size. The avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line.
As a consequence of a moderate to strong wind from northerly directions, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed, especially on near-ridge shady slopes.
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack especially on west, north and east facing slopes. These are in some cases prone to triggering.
As a consequence of wind from northerly directions, mostly small wind slabs formed in the last few days especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls.
As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface during the last few days, especially on steep sunny slopes below approximately 2800 m.
The snowpack will be soft on wind-protected shady slopes.
Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

The avalanches can in isolated cases be released by large loads, caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on steep west, north and east facing slopes above the tree line. Mostly avalanches are small.
The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep northwest to north to northeast facing slopes above approximately 2200 m.
As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface during the last few days, especially on steep sunny slopes. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day.
The avalanche prone locations are rare. Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found especially in extremely steep terrain. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. The avalanches are rather small. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
The snowpack is faceted. It is largely stable. The snowpack will be soft on wind-protected shady slopes. Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind.
As a consequence of mild temperatures and solar radiation a crust formed on the surface during the last few days, especially on steep sunny slopes.
A favourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.
