Danger level

2500m

Wind slab		2500m
Wet snow		2500m 2000m

Wind slabs at high altitude. Wet snow requires caution.

Fresh wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are only small. Loose snow slides are possible.
Some snow will fall on Saturday in some regions.

Wet avalanches can in very isolated cases be released by a single winter sport participant. Natural wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day. The avalanche prone locations are to be found especially on very steep west, north and east facing slopes below approximately 2500 m. Mostly wet avalanches are only small.

Snowpack

dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind

In some regions 5 to 15 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 2000 m. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from northerly directions, small wind slabs will form. These are lying on soft layers at elevated altitudes.

A clear night. The old snowpack is wet and its surface has a strong crust. This applies on shady slopes in particular below approximately 2500 m.

Tendency

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will soften during the day. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small loose snow avalanches are possible.

Danger level

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Only isolated wet avalanches are possible.

Snowpack

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be quite good. The surface of the snowpack has frozen to form a strong crust only at high altitudes and will already be soft in the early morning. The snowpack will be wet all the way through.
A little snow is lying.

Tendency

Only isolated wet avalanches are possible.
