Beware of wet snow due to strong warming!
On steep slopes, small to medium-sized avalanches from wet snow are possible, especially under mechanical loading. Occasional spontaneous avalanches may also occur, especially in places where large amounts of snow have accumulated from previous snowfalls. At the highest altitudes, especially on the northern slopes, dry, wind-drifted snow still persists, which may not be well bonded to the subsoil. Here, slab avalanches are possible, especially under high additional loads.
The snow surface is very varied due to the changeable weather in recent days. At mid-elevations the snow is moist to wet, higher up, and especially on the northern slopes, it is crusted, and at the highest elevations the snow on the northern exposures is still dry, winding up in the form of snow slabs and pillows. A strong warming is expected in the next few days, with air temperatures rising to +8°C at 1500 m above sea level.
