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. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced at times.
Only a little snow is lying.
Tendency
Low avalanche danger will prevail.
Danger level
2600m
Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer
2600m
Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
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.
As a consequence of a sometimes strong wind from southerly directions, small wind slabs will form on west, north and east facing slopes. Caution is to be exercised adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls 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
Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: Faceted 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.
