Werdenfels Alps

In places, dry slab avalanches can still be triggered on shady slopes.

In places, dry slab avalanches can still be triggered on shady slopes.

The avalanche risk is moderate above 1800 metres and low below that. Persistent weak layer is a persistent weak layer. Medium slab avalanches can be triggered on shady slopes, in particular with large additional loads. Take particular care at high altitudes in transition areas from little to much snow, for example when entering gullies and bowls.

During the daytime changes and with the sunlight, small loose snow avalanches can usually release themselves from the rocky steep terrain. At medium altitudes, individual small to medium gliding avalanches are possible on slopes with a smooth surface.

On shady slopes at higher altitudes, weak layers of faceted crystals can be found deep in the snowpack. These are usually covered by compact or crusted can form layers of snow. Early in the morning, the snowpack is usually crust-capable of bearing loads and icy. During the day, the snow softens quickly in the sun, causing it to lose its bond. Towards the ground, the snowpack is wet in the middle layers.

Hardly any change in avalanche danger over the next few days.
