Weak layers in the old snowpack can still be released in very isolated cases in little used terrain. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on extremely steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases.
The hard wind slabs are mostly small and can only be released in isolated cases, this applies in particular in case of a large load. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes. They are easy to recognise. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
As the moisture increases wet loose snow avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small. On steep grassy slopes mostly small gliding avalanches are possible.
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
dp.10: springtime scenario
Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes.
The hard wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on very steep shady slopes. They can only be released by large loads in most cases.
In some regions an overcast night. This situation will give rise to increasing softening of the snowpack.
The snowpack will be moist at low and intermediate altitudes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail.
