Danger level

Avalanche Problem

Wet snow

The danger of moist avalanches will increase during the day.

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften earlier than the day before. As the day progresses as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be a rapid increase in the danger of moist avalanches. This applies in particular on sunny slopes, in particular.
Slides can occur on steep grassy slopes.

Snowpack

Tendency

The peak of avalanche activity will be reached from the middle of the day on sunny slopes.

Wet snow

Dry slab avalanches are still possible. The danger of moist avalanches will increase during the day.

Old wind slabs can be released easily by a single winter sport participant on wind-protected shady slopes above approximately 2400 m. They are mostly easy to recognise.
