Stability: poor · Frequency: few
Weak layers in the old snowpack represent the main danger.
Avalanches can be released in the old snowpack. Mostly they are small and can be released in isolated cases by a single winter sport participant. Caution is to be exercised in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2500 m. The wind slabs are mostly small. The numerous rocks hidden by the recent snow are the main danger.
In some localities 2 to 5 cm of snow has fallen since Wednesday above approximately 1300 m. The weather conditions gave rise to slight moistening of the snowpack in all aspects below approximately 2000 m. Weak layers exist in the centre of the snowpack. At low and intermediate altitudes from a snow sport perspective, insufficient snow is lying.
Gradual increase in danger of moist avalanches as a consequence of warming.
