Allgäu Alps Central

Fresh snowdrift accumulations develop. In addition to the risk of burial, the risk of being swept away and falling must be taken into account.

The avalanche risk increases to moderate above the tree line during the daytime changes, otherwise it is low. In some places, wind slab avalanches can be triggered by slight additional load as small, and by the afternoon also medium-sized slab avalanches. This occurs adjacent to the ridgeline, crest or summit and distant from ridgelines in steep terrain in northern and eastern aspects as well as in gullies and bowls.

Stormy winds are transporting the snow. Fresh and older snowdrift accumulations are sometimes prone to triggering on surface hoar, especially on the shady slopes. Intermediate layers prone to triggering can also be found within the wind slab. At higher and higher elevations, faceted crystals can often be found below a melt-freeze crust close to the surface. On the sunny slopes, the little new fallen snow falls up to high altitudes on the apery ground.

Little change.
