Only little but thoroughly wet snow at intermediate altitude in Bavarian Alps

Avalanche danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. During the course of the day, small wet snow avalanches can trigger naturally. Isolated small glide snow avalanches can trigger at ground level on steep smooth grass-covered slopes and in sparsely wooded zones. Glide cracks indicate danger.

The snowpack has settled well, by and large, and is stable. However, solar radiation and daytime warming promote a thorough moistening of the snowpack which as a consequence forfeits its firmness. On sunny slopes the ground is becoming increasingly bare up to intermediate altitudes.

Slight increase of avalanche danger on Sunday due to rain at lower altitudes and some snowfall at higher altitudes.
