Snowpack is wet down to the ground

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem can be wet snow. Wet glide-snow avalanches can trigger naturally in steep terrain in all aspects, releases mostly small, occasionally medium-sized. In addition, on extremely steep rough and rocky slopes in all aspects, small wet loose-snow avalanches are possible, triggerable by winter sports enthusiasts in very steep terrain. Beware the risks of being swept along.

The snowpack surface is thoroughly moist, consists of melt-freeze forms atop the compact and stable snowpack, bonding well with the old snow but quickly becoming moist and forfeiting its firmness. The snowpack is often wet down to the ground. On steep slopes, gliding movements are the result. Below 1500 m, hardly any snow on the ground, even on north-facing slopes.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
