Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects.
In very isolated cases avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in isolated cases, especially above approximately 1900 m on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes.
Individual mostly small wet avalanches are possible. Many starting zones have released the snow.
Snowpack
dp.1: deep persistent weak layer dp.10: springtime scenario
Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on northeast, north and northwest facing slopes. This applies especially above approximately 1900 m.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night was good over a wide area. Towards its surface, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow on shady slopes.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced at times. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze. The weather conditions will give rise to slight softening of the snowpack on sunny slopes.
Tendency
Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. After an overcast night this applies.
Danger level

Avalanche Problem
Persistent weak layer
2000m
Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.
Winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases. These can reach large size. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep northwest, north and northeast facing slopes above approximately 2000 m and on very steep west and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example.
As a consequence of warming during the day and the solar radiation, the likelihood of slab avalanches being released will increase a little on steep sunny slopes.
Snowpack
dp.7: snow-poor zones in snow-rich surrounding dp.10: springtime scenario
Distinct weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes, in particular above approximately 2000 m.
Towards its surface, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially on shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced in some case. The surface of the snowpack will only just freeze. This applies in particular in the east.
In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to slight softening of the snowpack on very steep sunny slopes.
Tendency
Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Slight increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
Danger level
Low avalanche danger will prevail.
Avalanches are no longer likely to occur. Very isolated avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.
