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.
Only a little snow is lying.
Tendency
Low avalanche danger will prevail.
Danger level
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, mostly small wind slabs formed in isolated cases, especially in the regions exposed to the foehn wind.
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: 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.
Tendency
Low avalanche danger will prevail.

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 formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines 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.
Below approximately 2600 m: The snowpack is largely stable. Hardly any snow is lying on south facing slopes.
The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Less snow than usual is lying in all altitude zones.
Tendency
Low avalanche danger will prevail.

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. The older wind slabs are mostly shallow but to be assessed with care and prudence. Mostly avalanches are small. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
Snowpack
Shady slopes above approximately 2600 m: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack. The mostly small wind slabs of recent weeks must be evaluated with care and prudence especially on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. In all regions less snow than usual is lying.
The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will persist.
Danger level
Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.
Avalanches can in very isolated cases be released in the old snowpack. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls.
Snowpack
The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations above approximately 1800 m. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.
