Danger level



The snowpack is largely stable. Wind slabs and weakly bonded old snow require caution.

In all regions in all altitude zones hardly any snow is lying. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Wind slabs can in isolated cases be released. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep shady slopes, as well as adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls above approximately 2200 m.
Mostly avalanches are only small. 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 generally subject to considerable local variations. Some fresh snow and the small wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes.
The old snowpack is faceted. In very isolated cases weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on wind-protected shady slopes.

Tendency

The avalanche danger will persist.
