Avalanches can scarcely be released. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
Snowpack
The snowpack will be in most cases stable. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced over a wide area.
Tendency
Some snow will fall over a wide area. In these regions there will be only a very slight increase in the avalanche danger. Low danger will persist.
Danger level
2600m
Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer
2600m
The avalanche prone locations are rare.
In isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on extremely steep shady slopes above approximately 2600 m. Mostly avalanches are small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
Snowpack
Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: Precarious weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. All aspects below approximately 2600 m: The snowpack is largely stable and its surface has a crust. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones.
Tendency
Above approximately 1600 m snow will fall from midday over a wide area. On Wednesday in particular above approximately 2400 m there will be only a slight increase in the avalanche danger.
