Weakly bonded old snow requires caution.

Winter sport participants can release avalanches in isolated cases. These can reach large size in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep west, north and east facing slopes above approximately 2000 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack, when entering gullies and bowls for example.

Snowpack

dp.7: snow-poor zones in snow-rich surrounding

Some snow will fall especially in the Allgäu Alps and in the Western Lechtal Alps.

Above approximately 2000 m: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on west, north and east facing slopes. Towards its surface, the snowpack consists of faceted crystals, especially on shady slopes. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

Below approximately 2000 m: The snowpack will be moist.

Tendency

Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Slight increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.


Danger level



A generally favourable avalanche situation will prevail.

Individual avalanche prone locations for dry avalanches are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes above approximately 2000 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. 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

dp.1: deep persistent weak layer
dp.10: springtime scenario

Little snow will fall.

Above approximately 2000 m: Avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

Below approximately 2000 m: The snowpack will be moist. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to slight softening of the snowpack.

Tendency

Slight increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
