Snowpack

Despite strong winds from the west to northwest, only very localised small wind slabs have formed in the last few days. The surface of the snowpack is usually hard and there is very little driftable snow. On south-facing slopes, the surface of the snowpack became moist up to around 2500 m, where a crust froze during the night. There are still isolated weak layers in the old snowpack near the surface above approximately 2500 m, but no avalanches have been reported in the last few days. The bottom section of the snowpack is generally stable.

Gliding avalanches are still possible. This is mainly the case on east-, south- and west-facing slopes below approximately 2600 m and more rarely on north-facing slopes below around 2200 m. These avalanches may be large in regions with a lot of snow.
